It came out so well... That too vegan.... Yummmmm....
Combination of coconut sauce and hariyali rice gives a perfect taste to the rice and it is excellent. And without coconut sauce it tastes like Suva rice which is too very good.
This Hariyali rice made with onions and spinach taste soo good that it can be eaten as it is also but when combined with the coconut sauce it is a complete meal. Great to serve for parties....
