Lemon Rice no onion no garlic recipe step by step pictures

 
Today I am making a rice variety from South India which is prepared on festival days for fasting. It is a no onion no garlic recipe which can be cooked up in minutes. My favourite memory associated with this recipe is packing Lemon rice with pickle and Moru Curry (Kadhi) in banana leaf for train journey.

In South India, on Navratri we eat grains like rice and wheat , but once in a day (Orikal).

If you do not eat grains during Navratri fasting, I have some more recipes coming up.

Enjoy Cooking !
