Turmeric and Lemon Rice with Coconut

Turmeric and Lemon Rice with Coconut

Some people may find rice just a little bland if they serve it the same way every time. With this delicious rice dish, you get a wonderful, fragrant rice that has a great combination of ‘sweet and spicy’. The turmeric gives it a lovely golden color, as well as the benefits of its health-giving properties. The mustard seeds add a slightly peppery taste, as does the fresh, chopped cilantro.
