I love coconut rice..Amma makes it often for lunch on weekdays, since it is so easy peasy to make..Actually it taste so great as it is..So you don’t need any side dish with this..If you want some thing to go also with this, you could make Potato Roast.
But the best combo for this is spicy chicken curry..They both taste divine..I think you should try it some day..The flavour of this rice comes from the toasting of coconut in coconut oil and also the whole spices which you put in..I added some cashews for little crunch..I have another version of Coconut Milk Rice which is a keralan style..Check it here..
I hope you love this and let me know what you think..
