LEMON RICE
This is yet another simple and also a traditional South Indian Rice.It has been a long time, I prepared it.I still remember those days when my mom used to prepare this when planned for a long journey, along with a special coconut chutney(this is different from our usual chutney we prepare for Idli's /Dosa's). I should say they both go very well. Will soon post that coconut recipe,now lets go to the rice. :)
How to prepare this lemon rice?
For this Lemon rice you need
1 cup of rice
1 large Lemon
1 tsp. of mustard seeds
1 tsp. of urad dal
2 - 4 red chillies (Acc. to ur taste)
