Monday Lunch- Coconut Rice


Monday Mornings are horrible! There are a zillion things to do around the house and I am always short of time. One of my favourite mixed rice dishes is Coconut Rice. I made this for lunch today and S loved it! Here's the recipe.

Rice: 2 cups: Cooked. Use Sona Masuri if you can.
Oil: 1 tablespoon
Mustard Seeds, Urad Dal, Chana Dal, Red Chillies, Curry leaves : Generous Quantities
Hing/Asafoetida/Perumkayam: A big pinch
Coconut: Grated: 1-1.5 cups

Cook the rice and keep it aside.
Now do a tadka with all ingredients except the coconut, add it to the cooked rice.
Now dry roast the coconut until you get a nice aroma and is lightly brown.
Add this also to the rice.
Mix well, adjust the salt and serve hot.

I made a simple dal to go with this today. It was a good combo.
