Coconut Pulao

Coconut pulao is a dish which I first had at my friends place and immediately fell in love with it.
I have made few variations in this recipe like adding coconut pieces, you can avoid using it if you don’t like the taste, but trust me the roasted taste of coconut pieces and cashew nuts take this delicacy to a different level. The subtle taste is something which makes it unique. This is quite easy to make and can be easily made in the morning rush time. Kids will definitely love it due its colourful texture and taste. Additionally it is quite nutritious as well. Working people can make this for their lunchbox as it is a wholesome recipe.
