This has been there for a long time in my photo slide and as draft.Since this is a recipe which everyone know I was in a dilemma where to publish or discard.. but now i realised it is different from what others normally do.Only difference is the malsala powder that i use.Normally i haven't seen anyone using masala powder for lemon rice.
I started using it because my sweet hubby thinks its just lemon rice and nothing special about it and brought back the lunch.So just to give some extra flavour I started using it as the feedback was good :)
