This is a Kerala (Southern India) rendition of coconut rice. It's a tad sweeter than regular rice which cuts through much of the spice found in an accompaniment of a spicy curry such as chicken curry.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut water , or as needed
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • salt , or as desired
  • 1.5 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring 1 cup coconut water to a boil in a saucepan. Add basmati rice and salt, cover, and reduce heat to simmer. Stir occasionally, adding more coconut water as needed, until rice is soft but not mushy, about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Remove rice from heat, stir in cilantro and butter, and cover again. Let stand until coconut water is absorbed and flavors have blended, about 5 minutes more.
