Coriander & Corn Rice

DSC_1237

Today’s dish is a simple and tasty coriander rice with corn and coconut. That’s way too many C for one dish but that’s today’s alphabet and so totally justified. This is quick cook because there is very little chopping of vegetables involved and that is what takes all the time.

I usually make this when the husband is travelling and I have to cook just for the daughter and me. You can cook all the different elements of this coriander rice at the same time and then just mix them all together for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
