ABOUT Lemony Spaghetti / Lemon Noodles RECIPE

These lemony noodles preparation is a bit similar to lemon rice. My son who can not eat lemon rice go gaga over these lemony noodles. Very easy and quick to make.

1.5 Cup spaghetti (noodles)
1 Medium sized onion finely chopped
1 Tsp mustard seeds
10-12 Curry leaves
1 Fistful peanuts (you can add more)

Instructions

Before any preparation just soak urad and gram dal for sometime.
Boil the spaghetti (noodles) in water. Once they are cooked properly put them under running cold water for 2-3 minutes and drain all the water. Add 1 tsp oil to the boiled noodles. This is done so that they dont become sticky.
Keep them aside till the masala is ready.

Once seeds start spluttering add chopped onion and fry until its color changes to golden brown.
