Happy Dussehra to all friends and family,  hope you are all enjoying navaratri with lots of joy. Today's recipe is coconut rice / kobbari annam / Thengai sadam / thengenakayi anna. It is very tasty and easy to prepared prasadam recipe.  Coconut rice is one of the popular rice variety in South India mainly prepared during festivals like navaratri, ganesh pooja, varalakshmi vratam. We prepare different varieties of rice like lemon rice, tamarind rice / pulihogare , curd rice. Sundal  / guggillu  like senaga guggillu( black chickpeas sundal) , chickpeas, rajma, chana dal sundal and also different types of kosambari like moong dal kosambari etc. We do not need more skills in preparing this recipe. I just love to have this coconut rice as it is, if you want you can also prepare any curries like aloo curry etc. We use freshly grated or scrapped coconut to prepare this rice.
