Coconut Turmeric Rice

Coconut turmeric rice is an exotic and flavorful dish most commonly enjoyed in Southeast Asia and India. Turmeric gives the rice a golden yellow color, while coconut milk lends it a silky texture and rich flavor. Imagine the heavenly aroma of coconut milk and toasted shredded coconut filling your kitchen as it mixes into the hot rice. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or even vegetarian dishes, but it is also a filling and delicious choice on its own.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice remains fluffy.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk and water to a boil. Add the turmeric, salt, and sugar.

    3

    Once the liquid is boiling, add the rice and stir well.

    4

    Cover the saucepan and simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is tender.

    5

    Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    6

    Stir in the butter or coconut oil, then sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut.

    7

    Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or as a standalone dish.
