Coconut Dhania rice

This dish takes rice a notch higher; creamy & full of flavor. And, you only need a couple of ingredients to make this magic. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting on the rice to cook.

The recipe uses coconut milk, dhania and a little lime juice. Coconut milk is very rich, so we freshen it just a little by adding lime juice.

Rice is pretty easy to cook, a ratio of 1:2 (rice: water), cooked over medium – low heat ensures a well-cooked fluffy rice. For this recipe however, we’ll do 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup water so that the rice isn’t overly sticky.
