Nutritional Information
Lemon rice pastes are typically made with oil, lemon or citric acid, turmeric, chili, lentils such as chana and urad dal, curry leaves and salt. They are concentrated and seasoned, so a little is mixed into a larger portion of rice. Please check the Nutrition Facts panel and allergen list on the jar for exact figures, especially if you are watching sodium or avoiding peanuts.


Serving Ideas
• Fluff cooled basmati or sona masoori rice and fold in the paste gently with a fork
• Add a handful of roasted peanuts or cashews for crunch
• Pair with potato fry, vadam or a cup of curd for a complete South Indian lunch
• Toss with cooked quinoa or millet for a lighter twist
• Pack in steel containers for road trips, since lemon rice is traditionally eaten at room temperature


Frequently Asked Questions
How much paste should I use per cup of rice?
A tablespoon or so per cup of cooked rice is a common starting point, but follow the label and adjust to your family's taste.
Should the rice be hot or cold when I mix it?
Slightly cooled rice works best because the grains stay separate and do not turn mushy while mixing.
Can I add fresh lemon juice too?
Yes. A squeeze of fresh lemon just before serving lifts the flavor, especially if the rice has been sitting for a while.
Lunch box planning just got easier with this jar in your cupboard.
