Mushroom Coconut Pulav is a delightful Indian dish that combines the earthy flavor of mushrooms with the rich, creamy taste of coconut milk.
Enjoy it with your favorite raita or curry.
Pulav is a very popular rice dish all over South Asia. Generally rice and different vegetables are cooked in fresh ground spices and served with either a curry or raita.
This particular pulav as the name says it uses coconut milk as the base. In addition to the coconut milk I have added different veggies and a good amount of mint and coriander leaves to it. I made it slightly less spicy than usual cos i was serving the pulav with egg curry which had tandoori masala in it. You can also make the pulav spicy and serve it with some cooling raita.
