Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, sugar, and curry powder.
Cooking
- 3
Cook the Rice
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- 4
Remove from Heat
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking in its own steam.
Serving
- 5
Fluff the Rice
Use a fork to fluff the rice gently. This will help separate the grains.
- 6
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the rice to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite curry.
