Some serve it with the Ambulthiyal fish curry ,

and some have it with a humble piece of

jaggery .The rice used should be raw rice .The

option to use white raw rice,red raw rice is

yours.There is no specific measurements for

coconut milk . You need to cook the rice soft

first ,in 2nd and 3rd extract of coconut milk.

After the rice is cooked to soft stage , then you

should add the thick coconut milk .A little thick

milk can be added after the rice is flattened

and ready to cut.
