    Coconut Milk Rice/Thengai Pal Sadam - a mild flavored rice with coconut milk,cashews, ghee and tempering. Coconut milk is known for its health benefits, including it regularly in kids diet is a good way to improve their bone strength and immunity to fight diseases.

    This rice is one of the tasty and healthy rice variety which is just apt for kids. Adding vegetables to coconut milk rice is totally optional, it tastes great even plain but I have added assorted vegetables to make it more nutrient rich.

    Notes :

    • For small babies, add ยฝ cup of extra water along with coconut milk to make the rice little mushy. Mash it well and feed your baby. Also avoid whole cashews.
    • You could use store bought coconut milk as well but freshly extracted coconut milk is recommended for babies.
    • Big onions can be replaced with 10 Small onions/shallots forย a different flavor and taste.
    • You can also add a handful of mint or coriander leaves.
    • Adding vegetables to this rice is totally optional.
    • Skip green chilies for small babies.
    • Any Normal cooking rice can be used to prepare this coconut milk rice.
    • Water quantity depends on the type of rice used. I have used basmati rice and hence 1.5 cups of coconut milk is apt with prior soaking.
    • Adjust green chilliย according to your preference.
    • Always check with your pediatricianย before introducing any new food.
