Lemon Rice

If you mainly have lemons at home then Lemon Rice is something which even people who never cooked in life can really make a very delicious one out of it. This is also been a regular in our lunch boxes during our school times or in college. Easy to make, less messy to eat and very light. It will mainly be appreciated by people who line the tangy lemon flavor.
