This is a simple yet delicious one pot meal which is a good option for lunch box too.When I saw this rice in Sangeetha's space so much inspired and its a nice twist to add the carrot in the lemon rice.So without second thought add carrot to the lemon rice next day when I made it for hubby's lunch box and clicked.But the pictures were not clear due to poor light and whenever I made this one after that,I couldn't click.Some how today I managed to click some pictures,here goes the recipe for tangy and colorful rice..........

- If you are packing it for lunch box add little more(1tsp approximately) lemon juice as the flavor and the tanginess get incorporated.
- Do not boil the lemon juice otherwise it will end up in bitter taste.
