Lemon Rice

Lemon rice is very simple and tangy food, that remind us about our school lunch box and travel memories. I had lemon rice in those days without knowing that lemon has good amount of vitamin C in it. Now I am having it by knowing the health benefits. This recipe is simple but quite tricky one because every ingredient need to be in balanced amount. Everyone will know this recipe. I am taking this opportunity to share my ratio that I used to prepare in house. Hope you all find it interesting and also give your suggestion in comment or chat section.

Juice of one medium sized lemon

Step 1: Boil the rice . Important tip is that whenever we are preparing variety add salt to the rice and cook. It adds extra taste.

Step 2: For tempering, Into a kadai heat gingely oil (It adds taste as well as healthy).

Step 3: Now switch off the flame and add the lemon juice and salt. This avoids the lemon juice being over cooked.
