Coriander(Parsley/Cilantro) Rice


Coriander rice1



I fondly call Coriander rice as green rice. I have never said no to this rice even when I was a naughty kid who used to deny food. :) Its simple, yummy and attractive. :)

Ingredients:

Raw rice - 1 cup
Coconut milk - 1 cup
Water - 1 1/2 cup
Coriander leaves - 1 bunch
Green chillies - 4-5(according to your taste)
Garlic - 10 pods
Salt - for taste
Oil


Coriander rice



Method:

Grind coriander leaves, garlic and green chillies together into a fine paste adding little water to it and keep it aside. Cook the rice, coconut milk and water together in a pressure cooker. When you find steam coming out, open the pressure pan, add the ground paste, oil and adequate salt to it and mix well. Close the pan and allow it cook for just one whistle.

Coriander rice is ready to eat :) Serve it with your favorite choice of raitha.

Happy eating :)
