When you have fresh coconut and some vegan butter, what recipe comes to your mind.
I was fortunate to meet a man who harvested many coconut from his farmland on my way to get something from a local store near my home.
The man was willing to sell them at a very cheap rate andi was glad that I had extra money with me,
I immediately bought two for myself and hive .
Coconut fried rice was the first recipe that came to my mind when I saw the coconut and hopefully I had some butter in my fridge.
I remember making this dish for my aunt who came visiting with her family about six years ago,
My aunt never believed that I could make such delicious dish until she had her mouth filled with a spoon of this creamy exquisite coconut rice ,
She had to ask my mom if she was sure that I prepared the dish myself and my mom confirmed that I made the dish myself.
She applauded me and asked for another plate.
Coconut rice became my favorite starting that very moment and without hesitation 😊.
Let me quickly list the ingredients that gave me the first applaud in cooking.
