Lemon Rice

Well this recipe was a dedication to my Husband over this weekend; who loves South Indian food to its core. Spending almost 7 years he has deep rooted influence of Chennai in him ; especially their cui
sine. So i thought of making this dish for him and served it with Dhaniya Murg (Corainder Chicken)  (Next recipe).

This rice recipe is subtle in its taste and very easy to make. It's delight to the eyes when long, fluffy, saffron color rice strands comes out and spreads an aroma. I have made it in microwave; the same procedure can be replicated in a pressure cooker also.

South Indian +Happy Husband = 'Happiness'
