How To Make Coconut Rice Recipe
A delicious and fragrant rice dish cooked with coconut milk and spices.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of white rice
- 1 can (400ml) of coconut milk
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp of grated ginger
- 1 tsp of turmeric powder
- 1 tsp of cumin powder
- 1 tsp of coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp of chili flakes (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
-
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
-
In a medium-sized pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
-
Add the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and chili flakes (if using). Stir to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
-
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir well to combine with the spices and onions.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut milk, water, and salt. Pour this mixture into the pot with the rice and stir gently.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
-
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
-
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
