		lunches. They work really well with leftover cooked rice, or rice sticks. When rice sticks are used, break the sticks up into small pieces before boiling. Drain as much of the water as possible. I'm aware that some of the spices may be available in Indian food stores only, but i think it is worth the trip :-). You can also experiment with adding a variety of nuts, raisins.... Coconut Rice ---------- Ingredients dessicated coconut (shredded ,unsweetened) dry red chillies (1 or two) sesame seeds peanuts salt to taste 1-2 tbsps oil optional : mustard seeds, cumin seeds, lentils, a pinch of asafoetida, curry leaves (for the more adventurous :-) ) Fry all ingredients in the oil. Add rice/rice sticks and salt. Stir well. Lime Rice ------- Ingredients juice of 1-2 limes (lemons will do too; it is just a different flavor) 1/4 - 1/2 tsp turmeric peanuts 1-2 green chillies, chopped finely fresh ginger, chopped finely salt to taste a pinch of sugar 1-2 tbsps oil optional : mustard seeds, cumin seeds, lentils, a pinch of asafoetida, curry leaves Fry green chillies, ginger (optional ingredients), peanuts. Take your pan off the fire, add turmeric into the mixture. Add rice/rice sticks and mix really well. Add lime/lemon juice. Garnish with coelantro if desired. I sometimes add chopped dill or peas to this recipe. This dish looks really great, because of its yellow (turmeric) and green (coriander, dill, peas) colours. Tastes great too! Raj
