- Serves 8
Ingredients
- 750g Thai fragrant rice
- 100ml coconut milk
- 2 lime leaves, torn
- 100g desiccated coconut, toasted, in a dry pan until golden
Method
- STEP 1
Boil the kettle. Wash the rice 3 times in cold water, draining each time to remove the starch, then tip into a large saucepan with a well-fitting lid. Add the coconut milk, lime leaves and 1 tsp salt, then stir.
- STEP 2
Pour over enough boiling water to just cover the rice. Cover, bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the rice to steam with the lid on for 20 mins. Run a fork through the rice to fluff it up, then scatter over the toasted coconut just before serving.
