Health Benefits

History Origin

Lemon rice is a popular South Indian recipe that is usually served some pickle, chutney and yogurt. This is one of the quickest recipes in South India. I make it with some carrot and cucumber and have it with some yogurt. I have also served the lemon rice with some chicken curry to my guests and they loved the combination. Here I am discussing the lemon rice recipe in detail and you can easily make it with few amounts of spices. You can also use leftover rice to prepare lemon rice.
