    Put flattened rice in strainer and wash under running water until it
    is soaked (do not over soak). Leave in strainer for draining for 10
    minutes.

    Heat oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds and
    curry leaves. When seeds start to pop, add onions, green chili,
    turmeric powder, salt, potatoes, and peas. Cover and cook for 3
    minutes (so potatoes are soft but not browned).

    Add flattened rice, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally
    (taking care not to break grains).

    Add lemon juice and red chili powder. Cover and reduce to low heat
    for 2 to 3 minutes.

    Turn off heat and leave frying pan covered for another 5 minutes.

    Before serving, garnish with cilantro.

    Good with coffee or masala chai. Lemon pickle goes well with it.
