Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is Coconut rice. There are two varieties of coconut rice, one is rice cooked in the coconut milk. Another one is adding freshly grated coconut to the tadka and combining it with the rice. Here in this blog post I am sharing coconut milk rice, i.e. rice cooked in coconut milk. The coconut rice recipe is another one pot meal, it can be made in pressure cooker or in electric cooker too. Coconut pulao or coconut rice is mild in taste and liked by kids too. Coconut rice recipe is also best for lunch box.
