Talimpu Annam (Simple Tempered Rice) - Yummy way of using left over rice

None prefer to reheat leftover rice, but sometimes in unavoidable situations like...  guests came to your house, and you cooked more rice than required, then what you do?? Don't beg your maids to take away the leftover rice!! Here I am giving you a wonderful rice recipe with excellent taste. In my childhood, my mom used to make this TEMPERED RICE(Talimpu Annam) with leftover rice. She never wasted any leftover things, she always invent new recipes from leftover things too. That inspired me a lot in making different recipes. I learnt this "Talimpu Annam" from my mother. It's a very easy and tasty rice variety...especially the crunchiness of onions, crispiness of peanuts and Tangyness of Lemon gives a delicious taste to this recipe...Usually, people love to make Chinese fried rice or masala rice with leftover rice, I am adding one more Telugu recipe to that list!! You can improvise this "Talimpu Annam" by adding veggies or any of your choice...But I love to make this in a simple way!! just onion slices, green chilli pieces, groundnuts and lemon juice and tadka ingredients are my ingredients to this recipe...Let us learn how to make "Tempered Rice" in my way.

Ingredients :
3 cups leftover rice ( or cooked  and cooled rice)
2 big size Onions, finely chopped
6 - 8 Green chillies ( I love to have a little bit spicy, you can adjust according to your spice levels)
