LEMON RICE – A QUICK DINNER IDEAS IN 30 MINUTES

Lemon rice is a quick and easy Indian vegetarian recipe in 30 minutes for dinner. It is a healthy vegan recipe that stays gentle and light in the tummy.

Easy Lunch Box Recipes:

Lemon rice is an excellent recipe for lunch box. It is an easy and quick recipe to make in few minutes if you have white rice handy. Also, Lemon Rice is a wonderful recipe for parties and picnics. My mom makes lemon rice and pack when we are going for the picnics in school and college. Because it stays gentle and light in a tummy during traveling. Even an armature cook can prepare this dish, it never go wrong. Lemon rice goes well with simple hard boiled egg or potato fry, so you can easily make it and pack for the lunch in an early morning before going to work.

Smart Cooking Tips:

1. If the lemons have been refrigerated, heat it slightly in a microwave oven for 20 – 30 seconds approximately and roll it on a hard surface. This helps to squeeze juice from it quickly.

2. The amount of adding lemon juice purely depends on your taste, because I prefer extra lemon sourness in the rice, and my husband prefers mild lemon flavor in the rice.

3. Adding peanuts is purely optional if you are allergic to nuts avoid adding it.

4. Keep all the ingredients closer to you easily available to grab. Because the spices and lentils get burn quickly, so you have to add faster one after another.

5. You can also use store bought lemon juice for this recipe, but I prefer fresh lemon or lime.

6. You can also substitute lemon with lime, lemon tastes subtle compared to lime. So adjust adding the quantity.

7. Avoid start adding lemon juice from the large quantity of rice. First, try with a little amount and gradually increase the rice quantity. Make sure to check for the lemon juice taste and salt and keep adding it accordingly.

8. The yellow color of the rice completely depends on a turmeric powder. If you do not add it, then the rice will be in white color also the turmeric powder gives an excellent taste to the rice.

A Healthy Meals for Dinner:

Lemon Rice is made with only fresh lemon juice and spices. Lemon has a huge health benefit like help in proper digestion and reducing the heartburn. So as I said before Lemon Rice stays gentle in the tummy and easily digested in less time. Moreover, Lemon Rice included turmeric powder that also loaded with health benefits like lowering the cholesterol. So Lemon rice is a healthy meal for dinner.

How to serve Lemon Rice?
