Lemon Rice

Lemon rice is a South Indian dish known for its tangy and refreshing flavors. Cooked rice is seasoned with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies, and peanuts, giving it a crunchy texture. The rice is then flavored with freshly squeezed lemon juice, turmeric, and sometimes grated coconut for additional taste and texture. Lemon rice is often served as a side dish or as part of a festive meal, providing a zesty and aromatic complement to various main courses.
