Coriander lemon rice is a simple recipe with just coriander leaves and lemon juice mixed with cooked rice. Easily adapt this recipe with lime.
This is inspired from the Mexican dish – cilantro lime rice, which I saw in Facebook feed and found the recipe in Martha Stewart's website.
Just grinding the leaves with rest of the ingredients, mix with cooked rice and the flavour is amazing.
You can make this with leftover rice too. I had this with potato curry and it was perfect for my taste bud.
This has been in my drafts for long time, do try this simple recipe and stay tuned for more interesting recipes coming up.
You can use this recipe as side or in burrito.
This is suitable for Indian tastebuds like many of Mexican recipes and simple vegetarian dish for your get together or parties.
