Cabbage Rice

This is one of my special rice. I always like Coriander and coconut combination in any dish. My husband who is not a big fan of coriander leaves chutney likes this dish.. This is can be all in one dish and easy to prepare. We can do the gravy ahead of the time and mix it with rice when needed. Base recipe is from Mallika Badrinath
