Kobbari Pal Annam is my final recipe shared under family recipes loved by kids. This is one of our most frequently prepared rice dishes, served with many different masala kura. I already have a Coconut Pulao or Coconut Milk Rice, which is slightly differently prepared.
In today's version, I have used only coconut milk as the liquid, which makes it more rich and good on its own. Many times, I simply make this for boy's lunch box, most times without any side dish as well. Whenever I ask what they want for lunch, the stardard reply from Chinnu will be Coconut Pulao.
You might end up seeing similar recipes in the blog, I wanted to share it today in the same way I am preparing it offlate. Recipes tend to change over the years and what my kids like now is not the same. So documenting their culinary changes over the years.

Anything made in coconut milk is delicious... normally I make green pulao in coconut milk so that it is rich, yet delicately flavored without being too spicy... the platter is making me hungry...
