Lemon RIce

This is another one of my favourite mixed rice. This rice can be prepared in 5 minutes of course wih cooked rice available. Lemon rice with vadams or with some nice fried vegetable like fried potatoes or fried chenaikizhangu or fried chepankizhangu will taste yummy.........

In Karnataka lemon rice is served with coconut chutney ground with roasted gram dal. This was a surprise for me. But when I tasted this combination it was great.
