Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine Jasmati rice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the Jasmine Jasmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps achieve fluffy rice.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat but leave the saucepan covered. Allow the rice to steam for an additional 5 minutes to fully absorb the liquid.
Step 6
Remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork. If desired, stir in unsalted butter for added richness.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro if preferred. Enjoy as a side dish or as part of your favorite meal.
