Ingredients

  • 2 cups Basmati Rice
  • 2 tsps Salt
  • 500 ml Coconut Milk
  • 500 ml Water

Instructions

  • Wash and rinse the rice.
  • Put the rice, salt, coconut milk and water in a pan. Bring the ingredients to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Once boiled, reduce heat then cover and simmer gently until for about 20 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice and serve.

Notes

It's not mandatory to use Basmati rice but in my experience it's a great one to go with when preparing coconut rice. 
When using a rice cooker, use 1/2 less cup of water and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes.
