Hello Mam ,
I really thank you from the bottom from my heart .I had seen more than hundreads of recipies of Lemon rice but some times a small step can miss the exact taste of the dish .”Mixing the rice with salt and lemon and keeping it for a while ” was the most important step many doesn’t have in their recipe . and I felt The half lemon juce to the seasoning part for getting the onion and chilli the sour taste .Many recipies say to add the rice into the hot pan directly is also can reduce the taste .
