Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
  • 2 - 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (low fat)
  • 5 pandan leaves (tied into a knot for easy removal)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1/4 cup desiccated coconut (dried flaked coconut)
  • SPICES
  • 1 dash turmeric
  • 1 dash black pepper
  • 1 dash ground ginger
  • 1 dash chili flakes

Method

  • Combine stock, coconut milk, pandan leaves, garlic powder and salt in a saucepan.
  • Simmer over low heat.
  • In the meantime dry fry dessicated coconut with the spices until lightly browned.
  • I usually cook the rice with the stock in a rice cooker but you can cook it in the same saucepan (covered) for about 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
  • Add the dessicated coconut and mix well before serving.
  • May serve with Malaysian Chicken Curry.
