    Hello Vrinda! "Vegetable oil(Preferably coconut oil)"
    - Wise choice! :-)

    Coconut oil is THE ideal cooking oil because it is 92% saturated. This enables coconut oil to be highly resistant to oxidation and free radical formation.

    And of course, it's much more delicious with coconut oil, right! ;-)

    Just my two cents. Take care.

    I've never come across this dish before Vrinda. I think I will try it without the onions and add some chopped cahews instead.

    Shabana...thanx for trying,its my fav too. it mainly depends upon the rice u use,use normal pachari from local stores..even though the recipe sounds simple it requires lots of practice to achieve perfect texture...dont use high quality rice for this recipe...
