Tips

  1. Coconut Milk: I have used a mixie to grind Raw Coconut, adding some hot water and then squeezed it through a thin cloth. I had then added some more water to dilute it. This is what is known as Coconut Milk. In case you are using a Tetrapak, mix some water and use.

  2. For one Cup of Rice, add 1.3/4 Cup Coconut Milk and ¼ Cup Water to get well-cooked Rice.

  3. After the Rice is cooked, if you add salt to taste while it still hot, then the Rice will absorb the salt. If the Rice cools down, then the salt will not get properly absorbed. If you add salt while the Rice is cooking, the Coconut Milk sometimes becomes flaky.

  4. I have not used Pepper and Asafoetida in the seasoning. If you like it, you could add them.
