A Simple, Easy, Quick Lunch Menu.. A healthy easy rice recipe with side dish. During vegetarian days we will be confused in making a good dish at the same time healthy and delicious. There are more working mums these days. Therefore, I try to make a simple, quick meal that consumes very less time compared to other meal preparing times.
So for a friday lunch, Not having the time to do much curries or poriyals, Gravy. I decided to go simple with a Simple Lemon Rice and the Side dish is Potato Fry or Potato Poriyal.
This took very less time for me. The things i needed to prepare before making this was. Cook rice . Clean cut the potatoes and cut it in pieces you desire. I cut it in to very small pieces as it will quickly get cooked and easily to get it roasted without taking much time in the kitchen.
