Creamy Coconut Rice

Makes enough for 4 people

I still remember the first time I ever tried coconut rice, it was on a long flight on the way back from a trip to the UK. I thought to myself “OMG I have to learn to make this”. Over time I’ve adjusted the measurements and I believe I’ve come up with the best creamy rice to accompany any curry, like our quick chicken curry or chicken rendang curry.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of basmati rice, rinsed well
• 2 1/2 cups of water
• 1 400g tin coconut cream
• 3 cm piece ginger sliced
• 1 tsp salt

Method:

1. Place the rinsed rice into a rice cooker along with the water, coconut cream, ginger and salt and turn your rice cooker on and start cooking.
2. Stir every 5-10 minutes till done. Discard the ginger. Serve with curry or it would make a great accompaniment to any dish with spice!
