Lemon Rice is an easy and tangy lunch box option and easy to make one pot meal. Whenever I am in a hurry and running out of ideas I make this lemon rice and is always liked by all at home. Also this is a nice rice variety which is made during several festivals such as ADI PERUKKU OR AADI 18 as it is called and also during KANU PONGAL. It is made as a Neivedhyam for many poojas too.You can serve it with any chips vadam and any spicy dry curry.Also Mor Kuzhambu when served with this is a great side dish option.It is also known as Chitranna. With very less ingredients and less time to make let us see how I made Lemon Rice.
