BM #63 Day 14 -
Wow! Days are flipping over fast. We are already half done for this month. When my friend mentioned the ingredients of this Narali Bhat, I was totally convinced that this is going into the 'List'.
The only mistake I made while making this was directly add the powdered jaggery into the mixture. It so happens that almost all the time, the jaggery I get here always has some impurities. So the next time I have to strain the jaggery without fail.
Here is a recap of the A-Z series in the Maharashtrian cuisine..
Amti with Drumstick - Day 1
Bhopada (Laal) Ki Sabji - Red Pumpkin Curry - Day 2
Goda Masala - Day 7

Wow, a sweet coconut rice. Looks absolutely delicious.
This is the third narali bhath I am reading today. Looks absolutely delicious..
This is one flavorfil, sweet coconut rice. Harini, I remember you asking me once about the jaggery I buy. I think I buy Swad brand which is neater. I usually don't need to strain at all when using it.
nicely done...we make it only once a year which is a shame
