Coconut Rice

Hi friends! I wanted to share my Coconut Rice recipe here for easy access for my family and friends. It is one of the best side dishes and one that my entire family loves. It does make a generous amount, however I have had other friends tell me they do double this recipe. So its up to you depending on the rice lovers in your household!

Coconut Rice

Ingredients:

2 cups of Basmati Rice

1 can of coconut milk

2 1/4 cup water

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/4-1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut (this was my own addition to this recipe, I think it makes this rice extra awesome)

Directions:

Soak the rice in cold water for 30 min. Drain water. Saute the rice in the butter. Add all of the other ingredients except the coconut. Bring to boil and reduce temp for approx 20-25 min. Halfway through cooking, or prior to the water being absorbed add the shredded coconut. Mix well and finish cooking. Enjoy :)
