  6. Hi Kamala,
    Can you explain how did you manage to get the green color of the rice?? We just added the turmeric pdr and I guess it should be in yellow color and not green?
    Thanks!

    • Hi Anusha,

      For this rice, I have added only a pinch of turmeric powder along with chopped coriander leaves, which makes the rice yellowish green. If you add more turmeric powder, then it will turn yellow. If you want more green rice, check my “Coriander Rice” recipe.
