How to Make Coconut Rice / Nariyal Rice
Coconut rice is a south indian recipe, there people really enjoy eating coconut rice with veg stew and even with just plain rice.Coconut rice is prepared on different festivals like pongal as a prasad. Last summer one day I was sitting idle and just wondering what to cook for myself as I was feeling very tired and didn't have energy to cook for myself standing long in the kitchen.I turned on the TV as I was alone and all of a sudden I switched on a channel where the cook was preparing nariyal rice,I really got tempted with the recipe so I decided to make it right away.This recipe totally belongs to the cook Gurdeep , I was really impressed by her idea of plating the dish .Lets start with the recipe.
