Aromatic Thai-style basmati rice simmered with creamed coconut, lemongrass, ginger and warm spices for a fluffy, fragrant side dish for Thai food.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place the ginger, cloves, lemon grass, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, lime zest, salt, creamed coconut and water in a large, heavy-based pan and bring slowly to the boil.

Step 2

Add the rice, stir well, then cover and simmer, over a very gentle heat, for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and leave covered for a few minutes, then fluff with a fork. Discard the aromatics (lemongrass, cinnamon, bay leaf) before serving if desired.
