So we had a wild festive party last night, and for the occassion I made many a batch of mulled wine, 2 apple pies, Guacomole, Channa masala, a coconut rice (which is our south Indian family recipe), but I gave the coconut rice a twist and added Canadian wild rice to the basmati rice. Well there was chicken tetrazzini that Jane made, and a whole bunch of cheeses and short eats. I was up till 3 am cleaning up the place, but now it's time to give you the recipe for the Coconut rice which is so simple to make, and which is one of my favourites.
Virinde Chor (Coconut rice)
Ingredients:
1 onion
1 sprig curry leaves
Whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves
1 cup Basmati rice
2 cups coconut milk
a pinch of turmeric powder
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt to taste
In a pot, pour some oil, and add the whole spices to flavour it. Put in the chopped onion and curry leaves, and fry till golden brown. Wash the rice, and add to the pot. Pour in the coconut milk, with salt and turmeric, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it boils, lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid and cook for 12 minutes or until done.
It's a simple dish, but quite wonderful. Enjoy
