coriander leaves pulao is a perfect lunch box food, In this recipe, spice powders are not used, all the flavors are from the whole spices and green chilies. I have added coconut milk with the water. So instead of coconut milk, we can use 1/4 cup coconut (shredded) while grinding the spices. We can use this pulao with any raita in the dinner or in breakfast too.
