LEMON RICE RECIPE/CHITRANNAM RECIPE

Lemon rice is also called chitrannam,nimmakaya annam and nimmakaya pulihora in telugu. It is quite famous dish in south india. Lemon rice can be easily prepared within 5 minutes. But you should have cooked and cooled rice in your hand. It tastes best with any veg fries, appadam(papad) and vada. I always serve with minapa vada(medu vada) my family loves this combo.

        I wanted share this easy recipe from quite long time. But this is so quick and easy recipe which I always make in a hurry and don't have time to take pictures. But last Sunday finally I got some time to take pictures. I always prepare this rice with leftover rice.
