I'm not really a big fan of coconut rice. I find it a tad too dry and chewy. I love coconut, just don't like it roasted and mixed with rice.
Nevertheless, I followed Meenakshi Ammal's recipe book and the coconut rice actually turned out pretty decent. Yaay
You will need:
Half a coconut - Grated
Mustard Seeds
Oil - about 6 tbsps
Red Chillies - 4 (broken)
Green Chillies - 3 (Slit)
I avoided the Urud Dal and the ghee
Cashew-nuts (I replaced it with peanuts)
Curry Leaves
Heat the oil. Throw in the mustard seeds and the red chillies and the peanuts and saute for a bit. Add the curry leaves. Saute some more. Add the grated coconut and some salt and the green chillies and saute till the coconut turns red-brown. Mix with freshly cooked rice and serve hot with pappadams. It takes all of ten minutes to prepare.
Enjoy.
