- 2 cups water
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 cups basmati rice, rinsed at least 3 times
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut
- 2 tsp salt
Bring water, coconut milk, sugar, and salt to a boil. Add the washed and rinsed rice and toasted coconut. Give it a stir a few times. Turn the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Make sure to check and stir the rice every 5 minutes within the time it takes to cook it. You might need to add more water towards the end if the rice is still gummy..
