Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice (or any long-grain rice)
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
½ teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf (optional)
½ teaspoon cumin seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon grated coconut (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Rinse the Rice: Wash the rice under running water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Spices (Optional): In a pan, heat coconut oil and add cumin seeds or a bay leaf for extra flavor.
Cook the Rice: Add the washed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir well and bring it to a boil.
Simmer: Lower the heat, cover, and let it cook for about 12-15 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
Rest & Fluff: Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork.
Garnish & Serve: Optionally, sprinkle grated coconut on top before serving.
