Last week as our kids are on holiday, we decided for a family picnic. Since, we had not been to Zoo in recent years, we decided it would be a perfect day out for all of us…! And, absolutely it is..!!! It s great to get out in nature and to see all the bigger animals and little critters in their environment…!! We prepared South Indian delicious rice dish, Lemon rice. It seems to be a good option for packing lunch. It is very easy to prepare , when we are in a hurry …with few ingredients. And it tastes very refreshing and tangy. The citric in the lemon rice aids in the absorption of iron in our body, due to its high Vit C content. Here comes the simple & easy to make recipe..:)
