Keep in the mind
This is one of the delicious rice variety .But it will take more time for preparation of this recipe than cooking session.
Coconut milk is very nutritional and energy giving ingredient .Children can eat this food for gaining more calories and enery.Weight loss treatment people better to avoid this type of recipes.
There is no problem if we are preparing this type of recipes occassionally .This is not suitable item for regular dish.
Adding ghee also gives more calories .Mint and coriander increases the digestion but adding masala can cause of gastric problem.
Using basamathi rice also increases the taste of recipes than using ordinary rice.
