I was told that lemon juice should be added only after switching off the flame otherwise it will become bitter. Even in lemon rasam lemon juice is added only after switching off the flame. What is your take?

Response: Hello Venkat, that's true about lemon rasam. However, you can add lemon juice while cooking.

It’s an awesome recipe. I have to give upma to my son in his lunchbox. How can it remain soft in tiffin for about 2-3 hours? Can you give any suggestions?

Response: Hi Sneha, cover the upma with a lid immediately after done cooking to prevent it from turning dry. Fill the lunchbox with warm upma and cover it with a lid to keep it soft for longer time.
