Lemon rice is one of the most common dishes from south india. It's usually eaten alone or with raita, yogurt, chutney, or kosambari (a type of salad). You can easily throw it together if you are in a hurry, as it can be made with leftover rice. Add some poppadoms on the side for a simple yet tasty meal.
