Description

Coconut Rice


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, coconut oil, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  6. Optional: In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut until golden brown. Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the cooked rice for added flavor and texture.
