Rice is the world’s second most popular grain. There are so many different strains of rice including black, purple, white and even red. Its uses are vast and varied including in soups, stuffed in vine leaves and even in deserts. When cooking rice, the general rule is 1 part rice to 2 parts water. Brown rice uses more water than regular white rice so follow the package instructions. Adding coconut not only enriches the taste, it also provides a great source of manganese and it is very low in sodium. Eating plain steamed rice can become monotonous so this recipe is perfect for something special. You can also add mustard seeds to this recipe. An important thing to remember is not open the lid once you switch off the heat. It’s important to leave it to steam undisturbed for a couple of minutes to get the best results.
