FOOD : HOW TO COOK COCONUT RICE

 

Coconut rice is not just a healthy meal, it is also delicious, especially when you use really matured-sweet coconuts.

 If you are looking to prepare this delicious meal but don’t know how to do it, here is all you need to know about preparing this delicious rice meal.

What you see is a plate of simple coconut rice, super delicious. The only difference between the usual jollof rice and this is the use of coconut milk; it changes the taste, aroma and impairs the color slightly.

I think this comes fourth on my list of delicious rice meals. Right after salad sauce, carrot stew, and fried rice.

There are actually different recipes, some don’t use tomatoes, others do 😆 😀

First, you should spend some time looking for the really mature cocoanut, one big cocoanut would be enough for 4 cups of rice which would probably serve a family of five or six.

When you eventually find the matured-dried coconut, the shell is usually dried. Break it, take a bite, if it is not sweet, start looking again.

It is important to buy the really matured and sweet cocoanut, it makes a whole lot of difference. It should really be somewhat sugary. If you are there, shout – yaw!!! And commence with the rest of the cooking.
