This is a very easy recipe and its my go to recipe whenever I don’t have much time for cooking. This does not really require any side dish as such though you can serve a side dish of your choice if you like it that way. Papads or chips should be a good choice to serve with too! 
I used to make my lemon rice quite plain but I like it when my grandmom adds tomatoes and grated carrots in it and it actually enhanced its taste. The addition of whole spices makes the rice more flavourful. I had actually seen a similar recipe in a south indian cookbook ages ago. So I decided to combine everything and make the lemon rice more interesting. My kids loved it this way too.
Make this fortified lemon rice which is more healthy and interesting!!
