Lemon rice is a famous South Indian rice dish. This rice dish is bright yellow in colour and is quite tangy. You can make this with freshly cooked rice or with leftover rice. It does not require too many ingredients. Only a few spices are needed to make this flavourful dish. You can serve this rice with any Indian curry. This is one of the easiest rice recipes I have ever tried. It is quick, easy and delicious. Hope you like the recipe. If so, do share your feedback in the comment section.
