good one sworna, cannot wait till my husband comes home had some scoops… hmmm…….
Does this recipe needs tomatoes?
Hi Sworna,
Can this dish b done with coconut? will it still taste good?
Sure seema, just 3 to 4 table spoon full, depending on the amount of rice and dhall.when you taste the final dish you sure will not know a thing abt the coconut used.It will taste vey good.Just give a try and let me know.

Hi sworna, good one..can u tell me how much time will take to cook 2 cups rice…thanks…
thanks kavya,it must take about 20-25 mins after you add the rice in a normal pan.pressure cooker is much quicker but the risk of it sticking to the bottom and gettting burned is there.I preffer to cook it in a open pan as it helps in checking for the water connsistency and softness of the rice.
may be 20-25 mins once the rice is added in a normal pan.pressure cooker works much faster but it has the risk of the rice sticking to the botttom and getting burned.i preffer the open pan as it helps to check for water cnsistency and softness of the rice.
Thanks sworna, will try soon & let u know….
