Along with Lemon Grass Spicy Vegetables , this makes a lunch one would give an arm and a leg for!

Kodri takes longer to cook than rice, but it will be worth all the effort if cooked correctly with patience and care. Remember that 1 cup yields 2½ cups of kodri.

Bayleaf and lemongrass enhance the flavour of this dish, while the fresh herbs impart an exotic tinge. Do not cook after adding the freshly chopped herbs as the flavour gets destroyed when you cook them! it would be wise to add the coconut milk powder also after removing the kodri from the flame as it may also become sticky.
