  • About

A simple variation to plain rice. Ideal for serving with curries and fish dishes.

Ingredients

  • 300–400 g dry weight basmati rice
  • 2 litres water
  • good pinch

Method

  1. Follow the method for Really easy rice, but add the coconut to the water with the uncooked rice. The coconut flavours the rice as it cooks.
  2. Drain and serve as plain rice. The rice is the same colour as the coconut so you cannot immediately see it, but the flavour and texture is delicate and interesting without being intrusive.
