Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

750g Thai fragrant rice
100ml coconut milk
2 lime leaves , torn
100g desiccated coconut , toasted, in a dry pan until golden

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
