Lemon Rice Recipe

Lemon rice recipe with step by step photos. Lemon rice is one of the most popular south indian variety rice.Lemon rice or Elumichai sadham reminds me of travel esp train journeys when I see people around having it in banana leaf neatly wrapped inside a newspaper.I was not fond of variety rice until I started cooking. Now I know how handy they are apt for travels and lunchbox too. Lemon rice with spicy potato curry is my fav combination.
