How to Cook Coconut Rice
- Cook the rice as for Boiled Rice. Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a small frying pan and fry the shredded coconut evenly to a golden colour over a slow heat
- In a small pan, heat the ghee and fry the cashew nuts until golden. Remove, then fry the broken pieces of dry chilies, black gram dhal, and curry leaves well.
- Add the fried coconut and cashew nuts to the rice and mix well. Season to taste and add the fried dry chilies, black gram dhal, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Mix well and serve hot.

Washing the rice and soaking if for an hour in cold water before cooking will remove all the excess starch and will give a lighter, fluffier rice.
