Recipe ingredients
Three cups of rice (long grain or basmati rice)
One table spoon coconut oil
One 400ml can coconut milk
One and half cups water
Two medium tomatoes.
One medium onion
Two bay leaves and two stock cubes
One table spoon of white pepper
One table spoon minced chili
Four sprigs fresh thyme and salt
Two heaped table spoons crayfish powder

Recipe instruction
Chop your onion and set it aside. Cut tomatoes into large chunks and set it aside as well. Do same with chili pepper.
Place a wide cooking pot on medium heat and add in one table spoon of coconut oil (sub vegetable oil).
Add in onion and cook until semi-transparent.
Add in tomato, minced pepper and spices.
Stir and leave to simmer on low-medium heat for 10 minutes while you cover it.
Add in coconut milk and one and a half (1.5) cups of water into the tomato mix.
Stir and allow it to boil.
Add in your washed rice.
Stir and reduce heat to low-medium (4 on a marked cooker)
Place a sheet of foil over the pot and place the lid over it while you properly seal the edges with foil.
Leave it to cook for 30minute.
Note
By covering the pot with foil & then a lid, you are able to get away with using less liquid.

The rice grains are gently steamed & infused instead of being boiled. End result is perfectly separate & delicious grains.
