Coconut rice

I was waiting to make a post on coconut rice recipe for a long time but everytime I make coconut rice I don't find time to click pics. So today made this yummy coconut rice and managed to click it.
Using freshly grated coconut gives the rice an exotic flavour. The grains and nuts added gives a crunchy feel. I used ghee to make this but tastes good if made using coconut oil. Spicy potato curry or plantain roast will be a best combo for this coconut rice. Some people add crushed papad to this before serving.
