COCONUT KUSKA / COCONUT EGG KUSKA

Hi All,

COCONUT KUSKA!! I remember during my childhood days we had a muslim neighbour who often make kuska in their home , and during festivals they will make kuska along with briyani and gift us.

Though the colour of kuska is white but the taste will be spicy and very aromatic , so my mum got the recipe from them.

My mother has a habit of adding coconut flowers in all the dishes like wise she make the kuska also with coconut ,as the taste was awesome Iam following the same recipe till date.This is an altered recipe from traditional kuska.

I made this kuska with plain cooking rice but if you want still rich taste you can use basmathi rice too.

The recipe is as below,

INGREDIENTS :

Rice – 1 cup .

Onion – 1 no( big).
