Coconut Rice is one of the south indian traditional rice recipe. A very simple recipe yet a very tasty and delicious dish, also making use of freshly grated coconut makes the dish flavorful. In my mom's place we have coconut trees and always have minimum 10 to 20 coconuts in home and so it is not a big deal to prepare dishes with coconut. My mom often prepares coconut rice, mostly with afternoon's leftover rice for dinner and it is one of my favorite dish . Here in sweden we are rarely getting fresh coconut :( and not able to make chutney's and coconut related dishes often. But for past few weeks we are getting plenty of coconuts in stores that too for offer price :).Now I am happily preparing dishes with coconut. And so today posting recipe for my favorite dish Coconut Rice.
