BASMATI RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER



Basmati Rice With Coconut Milk And Ginger image

A perfectly cooked pot of plain white rice is a beautiful thing indeed. But basmati rice that's been cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and coconut milk then seasoned with a little chopped fresh ginger and scallions? That's borderline transcendent. The ginger doesn't overpower the rice here - you'll taste the mellow coconut first and the kicky notes of ginger second - so it makes an ideal accompaniment to stir-fries and braises.

Provided by Mrs.Habu

Categories     White Rice

Time 25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups water
1 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cinnamon stick (1-inch)
1/4 cup raisins or 1/4 cup currants

Steps:

  • Bring water to the boil.
  • While water heats, rinse the rice well.
  • When water boils, stir in the rice and all of the remaining ingredients.
  • Return to a boil.
  • Stir, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and allow rice to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick, stir to fluff the rice and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for organic, fresh vegetables and use a good quality basmati rice.
  • Rinse the rice well: This will remove any starch from the rice, which will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Toast the rice before cooking: This will give the rice a nutty flavor and help it absorb the coconut milk and broth.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: Look for a coconut milk that is thick and creamy. Avoid using coconut milk that is watery or has a sour smell.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time: The mushrooms and zucchini should be added to the rice towards the end of the cooking time, so that they have time to soften but do not become overcooked.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of cilantro.

Conclusion:

Basmati coconut rice with mushrooms and zucchini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. The combination of basmati rice, coconut milk, mushrooms, and zucchini creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
