Coconut Pulao

  Coconut Pulao

A very mild and delicately flavored rice preparation which  goes very well with  seafood curries.
the subtle taste of coconut and the whole garam masala used give it a nice aroma. 
   I usually make ghee rice ,Jeera rice or Peas pulao  along with my non vegetarian dishes, but thought of  trying coconut pula instead this time and it came out very good.
