Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, sugar, and curry powder.

Cooking

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  1. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Use a fork to fluff the rice gently. This will help separate the grains.

  2. 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.
