Lemon rice is one such variety of rice that is capable of taking your lunch or dinner to the next level. It is the perfect pick during times when you are already bored and tired of tedious recipes. The procedure involves preparing a distinct tempering with basic ingredients that are readily available in the kitchen, squeezing lemon juice, adding boiled rice to the tempering, and mixing it thoroughly. The key factor to keep in mind throughout this preparation is to turn off the stove immediately after adding turmeric powder. Secondly, squeeze the juice from the lemon only after the temperature of the tempering is reduced.
