Lemon Rice Recipe /Nimbehannu / Chitranna preparation with step by step photos and a quick video. Variety rice recipes are very famous in south India. In Karnataka, Lemon rice can be found in all the hotels and street foods. Lemon promotes hydration and contains a good amount of vitamin C. Some of the studies claims that it can help to prevent kidney stones. In Tamilnadu, Lemon rice mostly made without peanuts. But I personally like Karnataka style in which they use more peanuts.
