Coconut rice - Thengai Sadham Coconut rice - this is one of my favourite lunch box dish. My mom frequently prepares this delicious coconut rice for our lunch box. This rice can be easily prepared within 15 minutes without any grinding and chopping work. For this rice you can use any rice of your choice. I prefer ponni raw rice or basmati rice, which gives you the perfect texture. My mom adds finely chopped gingers, finely chopped green chillies and little black pepper powder for this rice. You have to add all the flavours in a minimal level. Then one more thing I want to say is try to use fresh grated coconuts for the natural sweetness in the rice. Please avoid refrigerated coconuts or coconut powder. The addition of cashew nuts and peanuts is optional. The perfect side dish for coconut rice are plantain fry, potato fry and chips.
