Ingredients
Instructions
Rinse rice in a fine mesh sieve, swishing until the water runs mostly clear (30–45 sec). Drain very well.
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, salt, sugar, and fat (if using). Bring just to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring once to dissolve the sugar and disperse the coconut milk.
Stir in rice, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook 12 minutes (jasmine) or 14 minutes (basmati) without lifting the lid.
Rest 10 minutes off heat, still covered. Fluff with a fork.
Finish with lime zest and toasted coconut; garnish with herbs to taste.
