Lemon Rice/Chitranna
Lemon Rice/Chitranna recipe is an all time favorite especially during travel and as picnic food. Love the way how a pinch of turmeric adds color and the visual appeal of seasoning of spices, curry leaves and peanuts in the rice. In Karnataka most of the time we prepare lemon rice as breakfast by using the leftover rice.
