Easy fluffy Coconut Turmeric rice

This easy fluffy coconut with turmeric rice recipe makes deliciously fluffy, flavourful and healthy rice. It’s a great way to serve rice that are just a little bit different and goes so well as a side dish with veggie stew, ragout or any type of dish where you would normally serve rice. This recipe is heart healthy and packed with nutrients thanks to the coconut milk, turmeric and spices…and it’s so incredibly mouth-wateringly good that it should almost come with a warning.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rice
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Ground Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon optional
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Ground Cumin

Instructions

  • Pour the rinsed rice into a pot and add 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water and all the seasoning. 
  • Bring the pot to a boil on the stove, before turning it down to a simmer. Let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes while stirring occasionally. When the rice has almost absorbed all the water, turn off the heat and make sure the pot is completely covered with a lid. 
  • Let the rice rest on the warm stove for 10-15 more minutes as the rice becomes tender. 
    Fluff the rice with a spoon or fork before serving and enjoy.
