Looks delish Sri! I like coconut rice too, but almost never make it! Only on festival days or navaratri time. I usually add some roasted, powdered urad dal to the kobbari annam along with all u have mentioned, gives it a nice taste! my mil's secret! 🙂
Vendekaa mor kozhambu is our favorite - I usually make rice and beans poriyal with it!
Mallika says
Mmmmmmm coconut rice looks yum. I learnt how to make this from Asha's blog.
