I studied at UDCT, Matunga - an area famous for its Udipi food. One of my favourite dish there used to be Lemon rice.

Here's the recipe from Sameera.
Ingredients:

2 cups rice
1 lemon or lemon concentrate
5-6 red chilli
2-3 green chilli (can avoid this)
peanuts (groundnuts)
chana dal
urad dal
curry leaves
1/4 spoon of turmeric
1/4th cup of oil (reduce it if you don't like it oily)
salt

Procedure:

Cook rice separately. On side toast peanuts in a little bit of oil (a teaspoon), followed by chana dal and then urad dal. All these have to be toasted separately as each take different times.(Note: just wait till you see some color on them). Urad dal gets burned fast so be careful. Peanuts may take a little longer than all.
Cut green chillies length wise and remove seeds. That removes most of heat. Now lightly roast curry leaves and green chilli followed by red chillies (takes just 1 min or so).
Take cooked rice in a bowl and add some oil. Mix turmeric powder and everything else to it. Now add salt (to taste). Cut lemon and squeeze lemon juice. For my taste, the whole lemon was good. Adjust according to your taste. Mix everything well.

Quick recipe, as in 15 -20 min, its ready on your plate.

Have it with yogurt or plain.

Time saver: keep rice in rice cooker and start working on other things. By the time rice is ready all the ingredients to be added are ready. All U have to do then is mix them well.
