Tips: Nothing can go wrong with this. Always cool the rice before you mix. Make sure the rice is not overcooked and does not stick. Add juice of 2 small lemons first. Remember you can always add if any ingredient is less but never take it out :) .

Experiment: Wanna be creative? Add finely chopped carrots. It takes your lemon rice to the next level ;)
