Lemon Rice is a delicious South Indian dish in which lemon juice has to be added to suit one's palate so that one does not end up with a "khatta" or bland rice. Lemon rice is an authentic South Indian rice dish that can be prepared in few minutes by adding cooked rice with fresh lemon juice.
So the proportion of lime juice to salt has to be perfect to make really tasty rice. Lemon juice gives a very refreshing and tangy flavor to this rice. Also Curry leaves are very used frequently in this part of India. So fresh bunch of curry leaves are put to dry on a towel then stored in an airtight jar to use when needed. This dish is enjoyed with Rasam, Raita (yogurt salad) and Poppadums for a simple yet tasty meal.
Tamarind rice is a very popular type of rice in Tamil Nadu and parts of Karnataka. Which are spicy and sour. This recipe already posted in Usha's kitchen.
