Steps

1To begin making Thengai Saadam (Spiced Coconut Rice), wash and cook the rice.
2Spread the cooked rice on a plate and fluff up a bit.
3Tip: It helps if you have cooked rice made ahead – the cooled rice works wonderfully well.
4In a pan, add oil & the ghee and splutter mustard, hing, urad dal, broken chillies, cashews, curry leaves and fry till cashews turn golden brown.
5Turn the flame to low and add the grated coconut till the oil leaves the coconut and the mixture turns aromatic.
6Turn off the stove. Add salt and cool.
7Now add the cooled and fluffed rice to the pan.
8Mix well and enjoy a bowl of Thengai Saadam (Spiced Coconut Rice) with curd or kurma.
