1. Cut Cocunut in to small pieces and without adding water put in mixi ie in dry mixi grind the coconut. After getting into pieces now add 1 glass of water into mixi and grind once.

1 a ) Now take a idly cloth and a vessel to drain the coconut milk into the vessel like filtering tea. squeeze and get the coconut milk in to the vessel using that cloth. If milk comes means you can add one more glass of water and do like the same as u did above. Now Count the number of glasses of cocunut milk u got in that vessel and keep that vessel aside. (let me count it as 2 glasses after getting coconut milk)

2. Put Mixi Set Items 1 in mixi and keep aside in a vessel.

3. Put mixi set items 2 in mixi and keep aside in a vessel.

4. Wash 200gms of rice in a water and immediately drain the water and pour little oil say 3 to 4 spoon oil in a frying pan and fry the rice for 2 mins for making it dry and getting the rice (Tips : This sort of procedure is for getting muru muru rice which leaves the rice into pieces after boiling )

Cut the onion and tomatoes. Now the actual procedure gonna start from here...... keep the above things ready so u can prepare a delicious food by following below.

5. On sim, do the following :

In the frying pan pour some oil, boil it for 3 mins then fry onion and then after 2 mins pour mixi set items 1 and pattai (a brown leaf cut into small pieces ) and (rest items in the pocket if u use 1Rs pocket )into oil and fry. After 1 minute pour mixi set items 2 and fry then pour mirchi powder , garam masala (optional). At last squeeze tomatoes into the frying pan and fry Now off the stove.

6. For 100 gms of rice (totally 2 glasses of water needed ) if tenga paal (coconut milk is half glass) then 1 + 1/2 glass of water will be needed. you calculate for 200 gms of rice. Let the water to boil and add fried items into the water

7. After water getting boiled pour rice and salt into the cooker and keep the flame into full and once when the cooker is about to visil, make the gas into sim and after 5 mins, switch off the gas. After all gases get vapour by its own, you open.

NOTE

1. For 100gms of Raw Rice (pacharisi) -------> 2 glasses of water needed saying generally for any types of masala pongal.

2. For 100gms of Boiled Rice (pulungalarisi).------> 3 glasses of water needed

3. For 100 gms of Basmati Rice ----> 1+ 1/2 glasses of water needed.

4. The above water levels are general and old rice will get into pieces (uthiri) soon and new rice will get boiled soon (kolanjudum) so u have to take care of water levels.

TIPS

1. If your cooker doesnt visil, you can boil by keeping open, but water level may change, and if you want to add water in between, you can pour only boiled water otherwise rice ll get ruin soon.

2. same preparation for chicken briyani but instead cocunut milk you have to measure the boiled chicken's water into account.
