Ingredients:

➤1 cup basmati rice

➤1 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)

➤1 cup water

➤1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

➤1 teaspoon mustard seeds

➤1 teaspoon urad dal (split black gram)

➤1 teaspoon chana dal (split chickpeas)

➤1/2 cup finely chopped onions

➤2-3 green chilies, slit

➤1 sprig curry leaves

➤Salt to taste

➤Chopped coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice: Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain excess water      and set aside.

2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pan or pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add mustard                seeds,  urad dal, and chana dal. Let them splutter and turn golden brown.

3. Add onions and green chilies: Add the finely chopped onions and slit green chilies to the pan. Sauté       until the onions are translucent.

4. Add rice: Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pan and stir well to coat the rice with the aromatic               mixture.

5. Add coconut milk and water: Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir to combine. Season with salt        to  taste.

6. Cook the rice: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a tight-          fitting lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

7. Fluff and garnish: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Garnish with           chopped coriander leaves if desired.

8. Serve: Coconut milk rice is ready to be served as a delicious side dish. It pairs well with a variety of       curries, grilled meats, or vegetables.
