Lemon rice | lemon rice recipe – Elumichai sadam A simple South Indian recipe made with simple ingredients.

Lemon rice is a simple recipe that I rarely make at home but will be very handy for lunch boxes on weekday mornings when I get up a little late and run out of time. We make this for Kannum pongal and Aadi 18 too along with other rice varieties. Here is my version of Lemon rice.

We also make the same with homemade or store-bought sevai and make Lemon sevai. A simple appalam or vadam pairs well with lemon rice. However, aviyal is a perfect combination for South Indian variety rice.

We make a similar one using Narthangai | Citron. I have posted an interesting version of Citron rice in Jeyashris kitchen.
