A classic coconut rice freshened up with a burst of zesty lime and cilantro / coriander.

Made in one pot, this is easy and a terrific way to jazz up plain old rice.

This recipe is for coconut rice made with coconut MILK, not powder.

It doesnt come out quite as fluffy but is still just as tasty.

You will find that many coconut rice recipes out there use just rice and coconut milk.

In my personal I stress the word PERSONAL(!)

I seriously could not stop eating this. Plain, straight out of the pot. SO GOOD!

opinion, that makes the rice: a) too rich; and b) too gluggy.

So I use a combination of both coconut milk and water.

As a side note, every every chef recipe Ive come across does the same.

But you could omit the lime if you wish!

I served this as a side to myHawaiian Coconut and Pineapple Chicken Skewers.

Also, this coconut rice and Hawaiian Chicken Skewers recipe together use up 1 can of coconut milk perfect!
