Narali Bhat - Sweet Coconut Rice

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..
