Lemon rice with potato is a perfect combo..And this is one of my friend named eswari’s favorite dish, she can eat it all day without getting bored..I know you too will love it..So hope you try it and let me know how it came out. Many people skip the turmeric in this dish.. But I strongly suggest you to add it because that gives the awesome colour which a lemon rice should have..Amma makes this along with her signature potato poriyal( which I am yet to post)…But I often like to have it withpotato roast.
