Instructions

  1. 1Place a medium-sized skillet (e.g., 25.4 cm or 25 cm) over medium heat (approximately 148.9-162.8°C or 150-160°C). Add the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and let it heat for about 1 minute, until it shimmers slightly.
  2. 2Add the 2 cups of beaten rice (Chiura) to the hot oil in the skillet. Stir continuously and roast for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice becomes slightly crispy and golden brown.
  3. 3Add the 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the skillet with the beaten rice. Stir thoroughly for about 30 seconds to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
  4. 4Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of lemon juice evenly over the spiced beaten rice and toss gently to combine.
  5. 5Serve the Chiura immediately as a snack.
