Lemon pulihora

I think every body knows about lemon rice made out of rice and lemon. Lemon which brings sour taste to rice. Lemon rice prepared in any occasion and this potluck dish. Normally when we plan for picnic  first we think about what we have to take with us. The answer is pulihora.  I like this lemon pulihora very much. You get intensely flavoured rice.
