Carrot Lemon Rice Recipe is a food with healthy ingredients and hence a key to good mood. Lemon Rice is a south Indian one pot meal which serves as a great anytime food. Carrot Lemon Rice Recipe is its healthier variant with carrots in it. Addition of carrots add the crunch and juice to the pilaf to redefine the yumminess.

The Lemon Rice is savoured best with curd and I have tried tutti fruity curd as a side here. Carrot lemon rice can also be served with Papad and Pickle, or Curries.
