Basmati Coconut Rice

Step 1

Measure out 1 ½ cups of the canned coconut milk and add to a medium saucepan (reserving the remaining coconut milk for later).

Step 2

To the saucepan, add the water, rice and salt. Mix to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, turn down the heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.*

Step 3

Turn off the heat, then let stand covered for 5 to 10 minutes untouched.

Step 4

Fluff the rice with a fork, then gently stir in the lime zest, green onion, cilantro and remaining coconut milk. Let the rice stand uncovered for another 5 minutes, then serve!
