Lemon Rice with Kebabs | Indian Recipe

Lemon Rice with Chicken Kebabs

This tasty and simple way of twisting regular plain rice without much hard work. Exceptionally good for hot weather, can be served hot or cold without much effort of cooking extra dishes to go with it. However, I like it with some kebabs and tempuras. The mildly tangy rice goes well with the kebabs, which when eaten does not need much effort to feel the crispy and mushy feel simultaneously. For the kebabs, a squeezed lemon is almost mandatory things to do while eaten as a starter, so when mixed together it serves as a simple and easy main course. Enjoy the merge!
