ABOUT Lemon Rice... RECIPE

A very popular crunchy, flavourful and sour South Indian rice recipe that is loved by many. It can be made with both raw and cooked rice. The peanuts add crunch to this dish and the lemon juice gives it a sour taste. This one can be used as a tiffin recipe too. Though it tastes best on it's own, it can be served with pickle or raita or any side dish of one's choice. Cashews and almonds can also be added to give it richness. This aromatic rice dish is therefore the first choice of many when there is some leftover plain cooked rice at home.
