Lemon rice, easy lemon rice

It’s Sunday again! The day I allow myself the luxury to be lazy. The day I want to get done with my lunch with not much fanfare. In short, it’s the day I go back to my list of comfort food and lemon rice sits right at top.

Matar ki Tahari

Matar ki Tahari

This recipe also comes from my Sasural’s Khana Khazana!! In Uttar Pradesh, it’s a winter delicacy and specially prepared on the auspicious occassion of “Makar Sankranthi”.It’s a Harvest Festival! People consider Urad dal is “Shubh”.

Achaari Chole Pulao
