Lemon rice - Version 2/Lemon rice with Carrot and Black eye beans


After couple of months break,I am participating in Blogging Marathon.Entering the 3rd week of the blogging marathon 77th edition with picnic hamper theme.

For day 1,I am sharing an evergreen lemon rice with a twist.When it comes to packing some rice dishes for travel or picnic,my option would be lemon rice.As the preparation is very easy and my kids like lemon rice,I prefer to carry it for lunch.

But today's version is different one with veggies and legumes.Here I used carrot and black eye beans.As the rice has veggies and legumes there is no need of any special accompaniment for this rice.Off to the recipe..........
