Coconut Milk Pulav

For the final day, it is Coconut milk Pulav. A simple basmati rice dish when paired with a delicious curry, it is a treat!! Pulav in general is everyone's favourite and even am addicted to it for various reasons. The ease of cooking is the primary one; adding everything in one pot and letting the flame do its work. Being a true South Indian, am fond of rice. So on my usual weekend menu hunt, I found this simple one pot meal in Tarla Dalals site.

With an extra curry and some rotis and raitas on the side, weekend dinner is ready in no time.
