Sweet n Sour Lemon Rice Recipe

Every body had heard of simply Lemon Rice with sour taste. Here I have given the idea of making sweet n sour combination of lemon Rice which includes the flavour of raisins in the Lemon Rice. By adding raisins children will love eating the Lemon rice without any hesitation of sourness of the Lemon. This idea is my Mom's where she will make Lemon Rice for our Lunchbox which includes raisins and cashew nuts. Here I have added only raisins where Vyshu loves eating this rice only with Raisins Flavour.
