Coconut Rice
Coconut Rice:
One of my favorites and this is a very popular Indian recipe. Fried coconut and seasonings are added to cooked rice and garnished with ghee roasted cashew, curry and coriander leaves. This dish is very easy to prepare and tastes mind blowing, if you have fresh grated coconut. Also this serves as a perfect recipe for any special occasion coz of its rich flavor of toasted coconut in ghee. It pairs best with spicy potato fry and hot chips.
Here is the super simple recipe for delicious coconut rice …:)
Ingredients:
- Raw rice - 1 cup
- Coconut pieces - 2 cups
- Ghee - 2 tbsp
- Cashew - 5 to 6
- Gingely oil - 1 tsp

- Split urad dal - ½ tsp
- Gram dal - 1 tsp
- Cumin seeds - ½ tsp
- Asafetida - a pinch
- Red chilly - 2 or 3
