Yummy Coconut Rice








Ingredients:
Coconut- 1/2 cup (grated)
Rice- 1 cup
Oil- 1 tbsp (preferably coconut oil)
Channa dhal- 1 tsp
Urad dhal- 1 tsp
Groundnuts- 2 tsp (fried without salt)
Green chillies- 3 (finely chopped)
Curry leaves- few
Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Asofeotida - a pinch
salt- to taste
Preparation:
Cook rice and keep it separately (make sure the rice doesn't stick to one another). Take a kadai and add oil to it. After it heats up add mustard seeds and allow it to splutter and add asofeotida, green chillies and curry leaves. Fry for a few seconds then add all the dhals and fry until they turn brown. But make sure they don't change color from brown to black. Then add the grated coconut and salt and fry until all the water in the coconut is dried up. Take it off from the gas and mix it with rice. You can store this powder in a container too and use it whenever necessary but make sure all the water is dried up. If you want you may add a few cashewnuts while frying as it may be attractive for children. Best to pack for children's lunch or snack box. This may accompany well with potato chips, papads or potato fries.
