Coconut milk rice

This is coconut rice with a difference. It is a simple dish that has the sweet aroma of coconut milk and tempering of curry leaves and black gram. It tastes heavenly when eaten alone or with some stir fried vegetable. I make this on summer days as it is cooling.

Coconut milk - 2cups
Cardamom powder - 1tsp
Curry leaves - few
Mustard seeds - 1tsp
Black gram - 1tsp
Red chilly - 1(broken into 2)
Coconut oil -2tsps
Salt to taste

Method:

Add the coconut milk, cardamom powder, salt and two cups water to the rice. Cook in a pressure cooker till done. Temper mustard seeds, black gram, red chilly and curry leaves in coconut oil and garnish the rice.
