Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    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.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING COCONUT RICE

John Torode says: "The mistake everyone makes with coconut rice is putting in too much coconut as it cooks. It needs the tiniest amount, then just a sprinkle of toasted coconut when served."
