South Indian lemon rice is a quick and flavour-packed way to use leftover rice. With crunchy peanuts, golden cashews, and a bright punch of lemon juice, it’s perfect for busy days or travel. Lightly spiced and aromatic, this rice dish comes together in minutes with simple ingredients and a short tempering process. It’s a regular feature in South Indian homes, especially during summer or fasting days.
