Coconut Saffron Rice image

A delicious combination of coconut and saffron blended with jasmine rice. I have tried many recipes and finally came up with this myself and I love it! Be sure to use unsweetened coconut. If you can use a fresh coconut and grate it. If not, you can rinse the sugar off of sweetened and then toast.

The saffron flavor was overpowering. I suggest using a smaller amount or skipping it altogether.

The proportions of the ingredients were a bit off, resulting in a very dry rice. Will adjust the measurements next time.

It's a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more spices or herbs to really make it shine.
