lemon rice

Lemon rice is a South Indian dish of cooked rice seasoned with lemon juice, turmeric, and tempered spices—typically mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried chilies.
It's served as a main dish or side, often at room temperature: She packed lemon rice for the picnic.
The bright yellow color comes from turmeric, the tangy flavor from fresh lemon.
