Both mint and coriander have spicy, perky flavours that are balanced very well with sweet, mellow coconut milk in this sumptuous rice delight. The phudina, coriander and coconut milk rice uses minimal spices as mint and coriander themselves are very aromatic, and the whole dish is ready in minutes making it ideal for everyday cooking.
