Notes | FAQ

- I used freshly grated coconut. In case of using frozen grated coconut bring it to room temperature and use.
- In case using left-over cooked rice, you can add it to the coconut mixture and saute for a few minutes in low flame until the rice heats ups.
- I had used ½ the salt while cooking rice and remain salt while mixing.
