Tanzanian Coconut Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a medium-sized pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir for about 2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

4. 4

   Pour in the coconut milk, water, and add the salt. Stir to combine.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

7. 7

   Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

8. 8

   Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Enjoy your Tanzanian Coconut Rice!
