Coconut Rice 2

 This is typical andhra style coconut rice.I have another version of coconut rice here. Difference between both is that in this i took milk from coconut and made the rice where as i sauted grated coconut  and mixed that with the rice. This coconut milk my mom used to make. Those days she used to use mortal and pestle to grind coconut and used to remove milk. Here is the recipe :-

Basmati rice 1 large cup
Coconut milk 1 large cup
Water 1 large cup
Oil 1 tbsp
Onions sliced 1
Green chillies silted 4
Ginger garlic paste 2 tbsp
Cinnamon 2 sticks
Cloves 4
Elachi 1
Coriander leaves 1/2 bunch chopped
Mint leaves 1/2 bunch chopped
Salt to taste

Method:-

Take oil in a deep bottom pan. Add all the masala,onions and green chillies. Saute for a while. Add ginger garlic paste. Saute for 2-3 mintes.

Then added rice,coriander leaves and mint leaves. Mix well and sauté for a while. Add salt.

Add water and coconut milk. Mix well and let it come to a boil. Then simmer and cook until the rice is cooked and no water is left.

Serve hot with Chicken.

Isn't it simple :)
