NOTE

  1. This coconut milk peas biriyani can be prepared using basmathi rice or jeera rice. If using basmathi rice, add 1/2 cup of coconut milk & 1 cup of water to 1 cup of rice. If using jeera rice, add 3/4 cup of coconut milk and     (1 1/4 – 1 1/2) cups of water to 1 part of the rice.
  2. Basmathi rice need to be soaked for 25-30 minutes. Jeera rice need to be soaked for 15 minutes.
  3. Roughly 1/2 of a medium sized coconut will be required to extract the coconut milk for 1 cup of rice.
  4. Canned coconut milk or coconut milk powder can be used for this recipe. But, I strongly recommend fresh coconut milk for better taste and health.
  5. Adjust the seasoning as per the taste desired.
