Chitranna, also known as lemon rice, is a rice dish widely prepared in South India, particularly in the state of Karnataka, where its name comes from the Kannada language. Cooked rice is mixed with a seasoning called oggarane or gojju, made from mustard seeds, fried lentils, peanuts, curry leaves, chillies and lemon juice, with turmeric giving the finished dish its yellow color and some versions adding unripe mango, garlic or onion. It is eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner and has become part of daily eating in the region.
