LEMON RICE
My next recipe is Lemon rice - one of TamilNadu's fav. rice dish...
The main ingredient is the lemon.
Lemon, as we are aware is an excellent vegetable/fruit for our body due to the Vitamin C present in it.
Before marriage, I had gone to Palani temple in TamilNadu and I could see many people bought this yellow coloured rice... Only after marriage when I came to Chennai I know that it is lemon rice that so many people used to buy and enjoy...
I have tried to make it today...
