Lemon rice is a South Indian delicacy which is very easy to prepare.
Lemon rice is best garnished with lemon and vegetables.
I had the opportunity to eat this dish at my Indian friend's house.
I decided to cook the lemon rice in my house using the recipe my friend gave to me and I never regretted it.
I enjoy it more without the peanuts however, it is optional to either use or not to use peanuts in the preparation.
It is a very palatable dish and it is worthwhile cooking it on your own.
