The chitranna was wonderful! Most premade rice dishes are bland and full of weird ingredients. The chitranna was bright and tasted REAL! Will be buying these products for myself, and gifts~excellent!

I’m so glad to have found Recipe Sack. Everything we try is delicious and the instructions are easy to follow, which holds true for the lemon rice. My kids were not keen on it, but that just meant there was plenty for us.

It turns out great every time I make it – which is quite often since it’s one of my daughter’s favorite dishes!

The lemon rice is a wonderful option for those who don’t know much about Indian vegan cuisine. It always comes out well and the flavor is fantastic! I personally use it as a side dish or even as a “tapas” style appetizer. Can’t wait to try new recipes!

This was truly delicious and even more so easy. The older I get the less I like to cook and this is like an answer to a prayer.

This dish was absolutely delicious. I have always loved Indian food, but have never been able to follow the recipes successfully. I love how the ingredients come pre measured in plastic sealed packs and easy to follow step by step instructions. It really makes cooking a pleasure.

I love this lemon rice dish – it is a perfect accompaniment to a vegetarian curry and it serves my whole family (including kids, who love it by the way!). Thank you for providing a wonderful easy to prepare product!

Amazing!!
Posted by Melissa on 8th Feb 2013
I’ve always loved lemon rice, but didn’t even know where to begin in trying to make it at home. While I cook a lot of complicated dishes, my cookbooks’ ingredient listings for this dish seemed daunting. When I made Recipe Sack’s lemon rice, I couldn’t believe how easy, fast, and incredibly delicious it was!! It’s definitely a favorite I’ll go back to! Thank you!
