Coconut rice or Thengai sadam recipe with step by step instructions and photos.
Jump to RecipeCoconut is one of my favorite fruits and we can use it in many ways. When it is tender, we can have coconut water and when it becomes hard, it is used in many south indian dishes. We can use coconut in kurma’s, curry’s etc. the tender coconut water is a good detoxifier.
Coconut rice is a simple and yet flavorful rice. We just need few ingredients and boiled rice to make this recipe. When you have any left over coconut, you can straight away prepare this dish. This is an easy lunch box recipe, and kids will love this rice. I usually have this rice with raw banana fry, it is a perfect combination. You can also have this with potato fry or have it as is.
