INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in pan. Add nuts, stir until golden; stir in coconut. 2. Add
coconut milk and water to pan. Stir in lemon grass, curry leaves and
spring onions. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for
2 minutes. Add cumin, cardamom and turmeric, bring to a boil. Add
rice, cook, uncovered, until steam holes appear at the surface. 3.
Cover pan with a tight fitting lid, reduce heat to very low. Cook for
10 minutes. Lift lid, check if rice is cooked, continue cooking if
required. NOTE: Jasmine or Basmati rice can be used instead of long
grain rice if preferred. Avoid lifting the lid of the pan while rice
is cooking, as all the steam will escape, resulting in gluggy rice.
HINT: The curry leaf is native to south east Asia and as its name
suggests, lends a rich curry-like flavour to Asian dishes. Source:
