Make sure the mixture is roasted a little bit and then add the necessary salt to the ingredients before you add rice. If you are using frozen coconut then you could defrost and then add it into the pan.

Step-6

Add the cooked Rice into the above mixture in step 5 and mix well. Severe hot and enjoy.
