Best 17 Coconut Milk Rice Recipes

BASMATI RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER

Steps:

• Place rice in a fine strainer, and rinse with cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup water, coconut milk, chicken broth and salt. Cover, and place over medium-high heat. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce and simmer until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

CREAMY COCONUT MILK RICE PUDDING

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Combine rice, coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until pudding is thick and creamy, 18 to 20 minutes. Stir milk and eggs into pudding, stirring constantly to keep pudding from sticking, at least 2 minutes.

COCONUT MILK STICKY RICE WITH MANGOES

Steps:

• Steam the sticky rice until tender (see Editor's Notes, below).
• Meanwhile, place the coconut milk in a heavy pot and heat over medium heat until hot. Do not boil. Add the sugar and salt and stir to dissolve completely.
• When the sticky rice is tender, turn it out into a bowl and pour 1 cup of the hot coconut milk over; reserve the rest. Stir to mix the liquid into the rice, then let stand for 20 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to blend.
• Meanwhile, peel the mangoes. The mango pit is flat and you want to slice the mango flesh off the pit as cleanly as possible. One at a time, lay the mangoes on a narrow side on a cutting board and slice lengthwise about 1/2 inch from the center - your knife should cut just along the flat side of the pit; if it strikes the pit, shift over a fraction of an inch more until you can slice downward. Repeat on the other side of the pit, giving you two hemispherical pieces of mango. (The cook gets to snack on the stray bits of mango still clinging to the pit.) Lay each mango half flat and slice thinly crosswise.
• To serve individually, place an oval mound of sticky rice on each dessert plate and place a sliced half-mango decoratively beside it. Top with a sprig of mint or basil if you wish. Or, place the mango slices on a platter and pass it around, together with a serving bowl containing the rice, allowing guests to serve themselves. Stir the remaining sweetened coconut milk thoroughly, transfer to a small serving bowl or cruet, and pass it separately, with a spoon, so guests can spoon on extra as they wish.
• Notes:
• You can substitute black Thai sticky rice for half the white rice. Soak the two rices together; the white rice will turn a beautiful purple as it takes on color from the black rice. Cooking will take 10 minutes longer.
• Unlike plain sticky rice, Coconut Milk Sticky Rice has enough moisture and oils in it that it keeps well for 24 hours, in a covered container in the refrigerator, without drying out. Rewarm it the next day by steaming or in a microwave.

KIRIBATH (COCONUT MILK RICE)

Steps:

• Put the rice into a medium, lidded saucepan and cover with water. Swirl the rice around to wash it, drain and repeat at least twice until the water is clear. Then, add the 1 litre (about 35 fl oz/4 ¼ cups) of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium, half-cover with the lid, and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes.
• Then, add the salt and coconut milk and stir into the rice. Cook uncovered over a low to medium heat until all the milk is absorbed, about 5-10 minutes depending on the rice you use. If the rice is not cooked, add extra boiling water and cook over a very low heat until soft. Take the rice off the heat and set aside for a couple of minutes to cool very slightly.
• Transfer the moist rice to a platter, and then smooth and flatten it until it is about 5cm (2 inches) tall and the same shape as the platter. You can either use a spatula, or you can put your hand inside a sandwich bag and use that to shape the rice. Put a little buttter on the spatula or the sandwich bag for a smooth effect. Leave the rice to rest for 1-2 minutes, then cut it into diamond shapes or squares while slightly warm so that the pieces do not break. Serve with Pol Sambol, Katta Sambol, or Ambul Thial.

BASMATI RICE IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Wash the rice and put it in a sieve to drain. Heat a pan with a tight fitting lid on medium high heat. Put in a tablespoon of the vegetable oil, and then when hot, the whole mustard seeds, and when they sputter -the cumin seeds. If you have some dried or fresh curry leaves - now is the time to put some (5 to 10) in. Add the chopped onion, stir it around allowing it to pick up some brown flecks (about 2-3 minutes). Add the drained rice, and stir it around in the onion flavored oil, and toast it for another 2 - 3 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and water, and add the salt. Bring to a boil, give it a stir, cover, turn heat on low (1 or 2 on an electric stove, the lowest it will go on a gas stove) and let it cook undisturbed for about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Let rest for another 5 minutes or so. Fluff with a fork. If there is a lot of moisture on the lid - place a dish towel between the lid and the pan and leave for another 5 minutes or so. Serve with curry of your choice. You can customize this by adding whole or chopped green chilies / finely chopped or shredded ginger etc with the onions. You can garnish it with crisp fried onion and /or nuts (fry them in the oil and remove to a paper lined plate before adding in the mustard seeds) What with the interest in turmeric these days - you can add around 1/2 tsp turmeric as the onions are frying and you will end up with yellow colored rice

COCONUT MILK RICE

Steps:

• 1. Rub oil over the bottom of a deep-sided pot. You will also need a tight-fitting lid.
• 2. Place rice, coconut milk, water, shredded coconut, and salt in the pot and set over medium-high to high heat. Stir occasionally to keep rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
• 3. Once the coconut-water has begun to gently bubble, stop stirring and reduce heat to low (just above minimum). Cover tightly with a lid and let simmer 15-20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. To check, pull rice aside with a fork. If most of the coconut milk-water is gone, go on to the next step.
• 4. Replace the lid and turn off the heat, but leave the covered pot on the burner to steam another 5-10 minutes, or until you're ready to eat. Tip: Your Coconut Rice will stay warm this way for up to 1 hour or more, great for when you're expecting company!
• 5. When ready to serve, remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork or chopsticks. Taste-test the rice for salt, adding a little more if needed. Serve right out of the pot, or transfer to a serving bowl. This rice is excellent served with a variety of both Thai and Indian dishes, such as curries or seafood recipes. ENJOY!
• 6. Garnish with A Little Thinly Sliced Green Onion
