Lemon Rice

Lemon rice is one of my favourite rice dish...everyone will agree with me that this delicious yellow rice tastes delicious and bit tangy, prefect to take with us for long journey as they stay for a long...my mom add a few teaspoon of spice powder prepared with fenugreek and asafoetida powder which mixing the rice..also she used to fry few peanuts n cashewnuts to make the lemon rice a bit rich, from my side i used to add butter while preparing the tempering which gives a delicious taste to the rice,u can also avoid adding butter while tempering but personally i wish to add butter for a yummy flavour...This delicious yellow rice goes to Flavoured Rice-Indian by Smitha of Kadumanga..She was asking all the blogger friends to send Indian Flavoured rice before 15th april...
