Notes
  • If you don't have any cooked or leftover rice.. cook them and allow it to cool and proceed the recipe. Do not use the hot rice for this recipe.
  • If the garlic cloves are big then reduce it to 5.
  • If you feel spicy, you can reduce the chillies too.
  • you can substitute dry coconut powder in the place of fresh coconut. 
  • Also you can prepare the coconut garlic mixture in advance and store it in a container in the fridge. Whenever you have any leftover rice, you can prepare this garlic rice easily.
