Cook the rice separately, or make this recipe using leftover cooked rice. To cook the rice, cover the rice with cold water and rinse once, add washed rice to a pot, add cooking water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to very low and cover. Set a timer for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand until needed.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add ghee, turmeric powder, and asafetida and sizzle the spices for 20-30 seconds until you can smell the aroma.
Add the broccoli, along with a tablespoon of water, and the salt. Mix well to evenly combine. Cover, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is soft and just cooked.
Add cooked rice into the skillet and combine well with the broccoli. Squeeze in the lemon. Enjoy!
