My 16th recipe, "Green Peas Pulav (With Coconut Milk)", an extremely quick, healthy and tasty dish... Have you been spending long hours in your kitchen trying to prepare a healthy dish for your Kid's lunch box...

Notes | FAQ

- Rice to coconut milk ratio should be 1:1.

- Adjust the cooking time as per your stove settings. 1 whistle is sufficient to cook rice perfectly in my electric stove. Soaking the rice helps in fast cooking.

- It is preferable to use freshly extracted coconut milk. A thin extract.
