Used Basmati rice and followed the recipe. The result was delicious served with Thai shredded chicken & runner bean salad (also on this site).

Lovely yet simple side dish - served this with the baked peanut chicken recipe and some soy sauce. Such a nice change from plain rice.

This is a lovely side dish that's simple to make and full of flavour. I served it alongside the Miso Salmon recipe and it worked very well. Would really recommend it if you're looking for a more interesting (and tasty) way to serve rice.

Nice recipe to make a change from plain rice. Think I went OTT with the coriander a little and it overpowered the coconut, however still very good and will make again, going a little easier on the coriander. Had this with the bbc good food chicken teriyaki skewers, worked well together.
