Table of Content
Assorted veggies add a splash of colours to this rice preparation, while abundant use of coconut milk in both the rice and the curry give it an elegance, which complements the intensity of the spice paste in a very balanced fashion. The total effect is mind-blowing and you will thoroughly enjoy this lip-smacking delicacy.
To mellow the spicy flavour of the curry serve with accompaniments like Cucumber Pachadi or Red Pumpkin Pachadi .
