We liked it!!

This turned out gluey and stuck to the bottom of the pan and still was absolutely beautiful! However, instead of Coconut milk, I mistakenly used Evaporated milk! Next time I shall use the correct ingredients!

I like this dish, very simple. Even, I have tried a similar one, please take a look at his too. https://www.nskwebtv.com/2018/10/coconut-rice-recipe-in-few-easy-simple.html https://youtu.be/BATFqee0a48

Yes. I altered it with apx. A pinch or quarter tsp of curry and reduced rice amount to 1 1/2 cups of basmati rice and then referred to the liquids in the recipe. I liked it and will make it again.

I really liked this. I made this twice now. The first time I used regular coconut mike, the second time, I used 3/4 light coconut milk and 1/4 water. I used 1 part rice to 2 parts liquid. I cooked it for 25-30 minutes, and had to stir frequently, as this likes to boil over. I used a whole grain Basmati rice.

Made one cup of rice with one can of coconut milk (400ml) and it was perfect amount for two to three people. Awesome recipe. So glad I tried it. Definitely on my fav list.

it tased weird

This was such an easy recipe. I adjusted the recipe according to other reviews and added water to the milk. Also, I found you must stir it constantly or else it sticks to the pot. Delicious!
Douglas Gross
Fantabulous!!
Jessica Collins
Easy and simple. Only thing is I probably should’ve put less coconut milk. Slightly tasteless …
Brian Arias
By itself, this has a simple, subtle flavor. Made this with curried chicken and it made the meal. Match made in heaven.

Never been a fan of rice. Tried the Indian Resturant in town and decided I loved Indian Food and the rice was good. So tried this tonight. Now a “Big Fan”! Followed recipe exactly, except cut in half as there are only two of us. Served it with Chicken Tikka Masala, also Indian. PERFECT!

for 2 servings, one 13 oz can of coconut milk is just perfect! you’ll have an extra oz but no worries! just a little xtra creaminess, right?
Gabriela Michael
Pretty good. Slight bit bland the first time i made it. The second time I did doctor it up a little per previous recommendations with sugar, salt and flaked coconut and it was delicious!!!

Based on some of the reviews, I did 2 cups jasmine rice (it’s what I had), 2 cans of lite coconut milk and 1/2 cup water. Brought coconut milk and water to boil then added rice, brought boil back up then simmered until absorbed. I did cover it until the last 5-10 minutes or so. It turned out nice! Served it with a honey Dijon chicken curry. It was a good combo, thank you!
Kelly Sullivan
I like to add juice from half a lime & finely chopped cilantro to make it extra tasty
Ashley Peters
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this rice!! It smells amazing and tastes absolutely delicious;; and I followed the recipe exactly. I will be making this many more times!!!
Deborah Pham
This had a nice flavor and is easy. I made a smaller amount, using 1c rice, 1 can coconut milk, and 1/4c water, per another reviewer. You do need to be sure it’s on a VERY low heat on an electric stove, because the bottom started to stick and brown.
Jimmy Brewer
I loved it! I made it as a side dish with coconut curry shrimp. Definitely a keeper.
