Thaengai Sadam - Coconut Rice

#ThaengaiSadham  #CoconutRice : #Thaengai - #coconut has a distinct flavour which enhances the taste of any dish prepared with it.
This coconut rice is one of the mixed rices which is very bland in taste just like jeera rice.

I like to have it without any side dish.

Note : 

  • The red chilly makes the rice spicy. So increase or decrease the amount of red chilly according to your requirement.
  • If you add red chilly powder the color of the rice changes. Thaengai Sadham should be white or half white in color.
  • A half tsp of pepper powder can also be added to make the rice more spicy.
