Coconut Milk Pulao in Pressure Cooker

Coconut Milk is prepared from grated coconut and is very popular in South Asian cuisine. Coconut milk will be mildly sweeter than cow's milk.  Coconut milk is used as milk substitute in baking by vegans.Coconut Milk Pulao or Coconut Milk pilaf is a less spicy rice dish.
