      I had first tried "Lemon Rice" at the famous Cocos Restaurant in Dubai and since then am being quite a fan of this super delicious citric rice dish.

     This delightful delicacy is loaded with citrus in the form of lemon juice and zest(grated lemon rind), salt to taste, oil and butter, some red chili flakes, chopped parsley, long grain Basmati Rice which gives out immense aroma, taking the dish to a whole new level.

The fresh aroma oozing out from the squeezed lemons makes it delicious and quite a crowd pleaser.. Being perfect to serve with grilled chicken, steaks, charred veggies along with yogurt raita as a side.

Super easy to make and comes out together very soon..

Prep Time - 5 Mins | Cook Time - 20 Mins |

Ingredients - 🍋🍋🍋🍋

2-3 Cups Rice | 1 Tbsp Olive Oil | 1 Tbsp Butter 🧈 | 1 Tsp Red Chili Flakes | 1 Whole Lemon Juice and Zest | 1 Bay Leave | Salt To Taste | Finely Chopped Parsley | Pinch of Saffaron 

Instructions - Clean and wash the rice till you get clear water.

Heat oil and butter 🧈 in a heavy bottom pan. Add Bay Leaves.. Leave it for 5 Mins.
