This was really good. I did add more curry powder (maybe almost 2 tsp total), used 1 cup basmati rice, and added a bit of water. No salt or pepper needed. The only reason I didn't eat it all is because I did see the nutrition facts on the side of the coconut milk! A good compliment to my trader joe's jar of curry simmering sauce with white fish and zucchini. Loved it! -
I was about to post this exact recipe myself; that pretty much says how much I like Coconut Rice. I've served this at several dinner parties, usually to accompany a hot/spicy main dish, and always to much acclaim. -
Very hard recipe for me to rate, I thought it was good, DW didn't like it and one of the guests raved about it. I used Texmati rice because it was what I had on hand. The nuttynes of the rice came thru good. I didn't taste much curry powered. Like one of the other reviewers, I would add more curry, I have never cooked with Coconut Milk before. I shook the can viigorously, but when opened it it t had the texture of playdough. When I added it, the bottom of the can had the all liquid in it. I don't think a paint shaker would of combined it, I broke it up and stirred it around the pan until it combined. Don't know if this could of affected the results or not. -
I liked this recipe alot, I would recommend adding some water ( you may have to eye-ball this) I also added some more curry to give the rice some more taste; also some ginger and masala. But overall it was a great recipe, will definitely try again !!

I love this! Coconut rice is great and this is such an easy recipe. I did add a bit more curry and then some peas and golden raisins. It's great with curries and chilled with apples,cashews,scallions,diced chicken breast,Maj. Grey's chutney and some mayo or sour cream. It's a great stand alone recipe but a wonderful platform recipe as well. 5 stars!
