Rice has been made common that we eat it everyday the difference is now how it is prepared.
I know that coconut rice is a well known food and i decided to twist it in with my own recipe. I didn't not want to grind mine mine as the normal recipe requires. I decided to shred my coconut i know i was going to give me something different.
Shredded coconut rice in the making
Ingredients for it
- 400g of basmati rice
- 350g of coconut
- 200g of fresh tomatoes
- 80g of onion
- 40g of tomato paste
- 15 pieces scotch bonnet
- 200g of carrot
- 40g of yellow and green bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Step one
Remember it's basmati and it's not starchy just like our Nigerian rice that needs to be parboiled, it doesn't you was it with just warm water set it aside and slice my tomatoes, onion and bell peppers. Then pound my scotch bonnet and shred my coconut and carrots.
Step two
I poured cold water into the shredded coconut and sieved out the water, set the water aside for my cooking and went ahead to air fry the shredded coconut.
After i must have air fried, i set an other pot on fire , poured in my vegetable oil and added my onion, poured in my fresh tomatoes give it a good fry and added my pasta stir while and added my green bell pepper, yellow pepper bell and scotch bonnet stir it well and let them marry themselves. Then pour in my coconut water and rice and allow the cook for twenty minutes adjusting with water until it's done.
I brought the pot down added my already air fried coconut and shredded coconut.
Let's plate it now because it's time for it.
