    the recipe sounds fantastic. haven’t tried it yet. can you suggest something else instead of coconut milk (since it is full of fat).

    Hi Meeta,

    Thanks for visiting my blog! 1/4 cup of coconut milk in 4 to 5 servings of pulao is not at all fattening! coconut, coconut milk and coconut oil, if used in moderation is actually good for you.
    You can use water or curd instead of coconut milk in this recipe..

    Happy cooking,
    Lissie
