This yellow rice and beans recipe uses white rice, green mung beans and yellow turmeric as the main ingredients.

This yellow rice with beans recipe is a kid friendly rice recipe as well, as the spices used are very mild and the dish is tasty without much ingredients.

I have used coconut in this yellow rice recipe and it is really delicious with coconut but you may also prepare it without coconut if you don’t want to use coconut.

If you don’t have freshly grated coconut, you can also use dry shredded unsweetened coconut for the preparation of this yellow rice and beans with coconut and spices.
