Hello Foodies!

I had some guests at my place last night. I made Rajma rice (Red beans with gravy and rice) and they all loved it. The rajma were completely consumed but a lot of rice were left. I don’t like to waste food at all so I decided to use them for lunch today. Guess what I made? Lemon Rice!

Lemon rice is a South Indian delicacy that can be prepared very easily. It requires some basic ingredients and can be prepared quickly without too much efforts. I made them using left over rice this time but I prepare this dish frequently with fresh rice as well.

Let’s see how we make it.
