Coconut Rice

Coconut Rice a well known rice dish that most of us prepare. I would like to write about my version of coconut rice. It’s a quick dish and is so satisfying in taste. I usually prepare this when I am in a hurry and have no veggies at home.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Cooked Rice
• 1 cup grated Coconut, fresh or dry
• A small Onion, finely chopped
• 1 or 2 Green Chilies, finely chopped
• ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
• Few Curry Leaves
• A pinch of Turmeric
• Few Cashews
• ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 tsp Oil
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds + onion + green chilies + cashews + curry leaves and sauté well for some time until onions become soft.

Then add coconut and fry well for some time. And then add rice + turmeric and mix well to make sure there are no lumps. Add salt and red chili powder and mix well. Cover and keep the rice on low flame for 5 minutes and turn off the flame.

Great tasting coconut rice is ready!! Enjoy with some papads or plain yogurt.
