2 Comments
This Karnataka Special White Rice is an excellent lunchbox recipe which is made with simple ingredients like Coconut and Dill leaves. Soppu means Dill or Soya leaves in Kannada.
This has a nice Coconut taste and good fragrance of Dill leaves and has an authentic taste of a traditional recipe from a southern state.
It hardly takes five minutes to make this Rice if all the ingredients are ready. If you are in a hurry, this recipe comes as a great quick solution for the lunch box. It has all the ingredients good for the stomach.
Generally, all the Rice recipes have too much spice, Ginger Garlic paste etc So, I prefer this Rice which has no masalas, is healthy as well as tasty to eat.

Tips
Dill Leaves:
- These leaves have a natural fragrance even if a few are used. Roast the leaves for 2 to 3 minutes to remove the raw smell and bring out the taste.
Other tips :
-
In case Dill leaves are not available, you can use chopped Fenugreek Leaves, Spinach Leaves or Amarnathus Leaves.
-
Onion is optional.
