Thenga Sadham ( coconut rice ) - an amateur cook's receipe !!!

one half of full coconut
kaduku
uluthamparuppu
cashewnut
green chilli ( according to taste )
salt
coconut oil

after cooking the rice using electric rice cooker, put it in a big vessel for mixing purpose, as well as to leave it warm for mixing purpose.

pour little coconut oil and allow it to boil, put kaduku, uluthamparuppur, thuruviya thengai, chopped green chilli, cashew nuts, and fry them until the white coconut becomes slightly brown and the green chillies change colour along with cashews... once this is done, mix them with the rice along with required amount of salt..( you can add salt little by little until you get the desired taste.. adding too much of salt will be difficult to eat ) . . mix them well and if required pour some coconut oil ( only very little ) for mixing purpose... yummy coconut rice is ready !!!!

precaution:

1. when using coconut oil, ensure you are not using a scented coconut oil ... if it is scented, better use seasame oil...

2. i have not told you how to boil the rice using electric cooker. for one glass of rice, use 3 glasses of water and leave it to the electric cooker to cook... put the indicator in cooking position after cooking it will go to warm !!!! ( hi, dont look me like that ... this might help first time cooking guys )

3. it is always good to try fresh coconut, if you want to pack it for lunch...

just let me know how was it !!!
