Coconut Basmati Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until soft. Add the drained rice, salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the cashews and cook until lightly golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Place coconut milk and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the hot liquid to the rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. When the rice is cooked, remove from the oven and fold in the green onion, and coconut. Spoon the rice onto a platter and garnish with the toasted cashews.

Steps:

• Saute 2 tablespoons minced ginger in a saucepan with butter. Add 1 cup rinsed basmati rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat; cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes off the heat; fluff with a fork. Garnish with cilantro and cashews.

Steps:

• Place rice in a fine strainer, and rinse with cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup water, coconut milk, chicken broth and salt. Cover, and place over medium-high heat. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce and simmer until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in scallions and ginger. Add a little more coconut milk if rice is too dry. Season to taste with salt. Serve.

Steps:

• Place the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a pan. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in scallions.

Steps:

• In a big saucepan or casserole with a lid, gently soften the onions in the oil and butter.
• When really soft, add the rice and cook, stirring, for a couple of mins. Tip in the coconut milk with 2 cans water. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring, then cover, lower the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 10-15 mins, scraping the bottom regularly with a wooden spoon to stop it sticking. Check the rice: it should be sticky and creamy but not watery, and not quite cooked - still a bit crunchy. Tip into a big bowl that will fit in a microwave and cover with cling film. Chill until ready to serve, for up to a day.
• To serve, poke a hole in the cling film and microwave for 8 mins on High, stirring halfway, until piping hot and cooked through. Add some salt and stir through with a fork to break up the grains.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over high heat, combine rice, coconut milk and salt; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Remove from heat and keep covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and season with pepper.

Steps:

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• In a saucepan set on the direct heat side of the grill, melt the butter. Add the garlic, onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are slightly translucent, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the ginger and jalapeños. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and aromatic, another 2 minutes.
• Stir in the rice and continue to toast until very fragrant, about another 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, shredded coconut and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir, move the pot to the indirect heat side of the grill and cover with a lid.
• Close the grill and simmer until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Place rice in a large, nonstick pot. Cover rice with water and, with your hands, agitate the rice, releasing the starch. Pour off the cloudy water then repeat this process until the water is clear. Pour off the water a final time and drain rice in a colander.
• Place drained rice, 2 cups water, coconut milk, and salt in a large pot. Stir to combine. Bring to a fast boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover pot and simmer rice until just tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add onions, raisins, and cashews. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
• When liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, fluff rice with a fork.
• Add onion mixture to rice and toss with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer to a serving bowl.
• TO MAKE AHEAD: Rice can be chilled and refrigerated overnight. Microwave for 3 minutes or until heated through before serving.
• NOTE: Substitute dried cranberries or dried cherries for the raisins for a different flavor boost. Rehydrate them in 1/4-cup warm water and then drain them before using in this recipe.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
• Put the rice, water, coconut milk, salt and pepper in a rice cooker. Turn it on and let it cook. Fluff rice with a fork before serving. Easy and delicious.
