In DEC 09 I joined a course in Art of living and it is really good. so i was busy in that too. This rice i made for my daughter's lunch box . usually i follow Mrs. Mallika Badrinath's recipe to make this rice. I did not have that much time , so i tried simple method it came out well.

2. Cook the rice and let it cool.


3. Combine coconut, garlic, red chili and ground it to a paste.
