Narthangai Sadam Recipe / Citron Rice Recipe


Citron / Narthangai is onething which my mom loves a lot. She makes a amazing pachadi with it. I am not a big fan of it because it taste little bitter. But my mom and my family members like it so much. After i got married, i kind of stayed away from this, since hubby too dont like it much. But recently i came across this rice recipe, i wanted to give it a try. So few days back when we went to our near my veg market, i took couple of this beauties. I made this rice using one of it and reserved the other one to make pachadi so i can share it in this blog.




I made this rice and it was really yummy. This rice is just like lemon rice, taste too same, but has a very light citron taste to it which i admired a lot and it was not at all bitter.
