  • Great timing. I just tried a coconut rice recipe the other day, which involved cooking the rice in coconut milk. Not a great result really and rice cooker kept turning off. Will try this method.next time. thanks.

  • If I can find some of the spices used in the recipe, I’d love to give this a go. It would be a great accompaniment to my Peanut Satay Chicken.

    • these spices are very commonly available these days; check out any indian or Asian grocer. Many of these are stocked in major supermarkets also

    • its not at all complex; just keep all the ingredients ready and then, its only a matter of throwing it in at the right stages.
