Nimmakaya Annam ~ Lemon Rice

89 6 share 4 Like 14 0 33

Yesterday was a busy day and meant less time in the kitchen. Made a simple, lemon-flavored,
vibrant colored rice that was not only quick to prepare but brightened up my day. Relished it with
yogurt and papads. An all time favorite especially during travel and as picnic food. Love the way
how a pinch of turmeric adds color and the visual appeal of seasoning of spices, curry leaves

I attempted mine with less acidic lemons (just prefer it that way), and some pistachios
that I had lying around to spare, instead of the peanuts. I was happy with my quick dish!
