Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups coconut milk (or whole milk)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- optional toppings (like sugar or jaggery)
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.
Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed.
Stir the rice gently, then add the coconut milk (or whole milk) and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the milk and salt.
Continue to cook the rice over low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency. The rice grains should be soft and fully cooked.
Once the desired texture is achieved, remove the pot from the heat. Let the Milk Rice cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish.
Spread the Milk Rice evenly in the serving dish and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Allow it to cool and set for a few minutes, if desired.
Cut the Milk Rice into squares or diamonds for serving. Optionally, serve with sugar, jaggery, or savory accompaniments like chili paste or curries.
