Lemon rice is a popular South Indian dish made with cooked rice, lemon juice, and a flavorful tempering of spices. It is a simple and refreshing dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish. To make lemon rice, cooked rice is tossed with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies, and turmeric powder. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is then added to give it a tangy and citrusy flavor. The dish is garnished with roasted peanuts and fresh coriander leaves for added crunch and freshness. Lemon rice is often served with yogurt or raita and makes for a delicious and satisfying meal.
