COCONUT RICE RECIPE BY ANDRELLA'S BLOG

-
Happy Palm Sunday everyone, hope the weekend was good, yesterday I did a post about the wedding ceremony of Nigerian Billionaire Mogul Dangote's daughter if you haven't viewed the lovely photos you could check my recent post.
Today's recipe is for Coconut rice, its spicy, fun and easy to make. It can also be a Sunday special meal. Ingredients and cooking directions will be emphasized below. But first, I will run you through some key points in preparing this meal.
  • First off we break open the coconut and extract the water, some people love to use it to make the food tastier.
  • You then ground the coconut, that's after dicing it into little pieces. Some also prefer to grate it into little slices before extracting the water.
  • Take the ground paste and squeeze or sieve the water. Put the coconut extract and the paste in separate bowls.
With this little preface you're ready to make the best coconut rice.
