Lemon Rice Microwave, How to Make Lemon Rice Recipe, Lemon Pulihora

Lemon Rice Microwave is one of the basic and simple recipes made from steamed rice. This is one of the best recipes while moving out of the house or for tiffin box.

In South India, many people prefer this recipe as naivedyam (food offered to God). Also, many families serve this recipe as a breakfast recipe for their children.

If I am left with rice last night I usually prepare pulihora as I need to add lemon juice and peanuts as the main ingredient. Also, turmeric powder adds color and curry leaves adds aroma to this recipe. In my other post, I mentioned preparation of Lemon Rice without the microwave.
