Lemon Rice

My husband usually takes lunch from home every morning. This is a recipe that I tried out this morning for the first time. I have eaten it before many a times but had never made it myself. I ate it for breakfast, pretty good. I had lots of left over rice from last night's egg curry and rice dinner, so I gave it a shot. I packed this Lemon Rice with Masala Capsicum (Green Bell Peppers cooked in spices, recipe to follow), fruits and a salad. I hope he ejoyed it.
