Coconut Rice : Main

Coconut rice is a quick south indian recipe. Very simple to make and yummy too. This is my hubby's favorite so learnt it for him and he loved this preparation by me. When we add ghee to this it tastes even yumm and children are sure to love this.

Tips

• You can add chopped onions to this dish and that gives a different taste. Since hubby prefers it without onions I skip it.
• As I already mentioned adding ghee adds so much taste to this dish.
• You can refrigerate grated coconut and use it whenever and wherever you need them. I store it that way and hence it makes the job easier :)
