Hello beautiful foodies! Today I made a simple vegan recipe coconut milk rice pulao.
This flavourful aromatic rice goes with any curry or even without curry or a simple fresh chutney goes well with it.
In cooking pulao rice, you can add any veggies you have. The ratio of rice & coconut milk is 1: 1 1/2, you must use the same glass/cup to measure the rice and coconut milk. In here I used Both, fresh coconut milk and canned coconut milk. I haven't add onions to this dish, however if you want, you may add onions right after adding whole spices.
Beforehand, I would like to say many thanks to #naturalmedicine @justinparke @riverflows and to all the members of this beautiful community.
