Probably one of the most common ways of utilising leftover rice, lemon rice is not just simple to make, but tastes delicious, and can be relished for breakfast or for lunch.

My recipe is slightly more spicy, and uses 3 types of chillies: dried red chilli, fresh green chillli and Kashmiri red chilli powder.

Do try it out! And if you do, then don’t forget to share a Cooksnap to let me know ;)
