1. Use The Correct Rice

The type of rice you use makes a huge difference. Always use jasmine rice over any other variety, as it is fluffier in texture.

2. Full-Fat Coconut Milk

When making coconut rice, remember to use only full-fat coconut milk. If you use low-fat milk, your rice may lack that distinct richness.

4. Cook On The Right Flame

You should cook the coconut rice on a low-medium flame. This ensures even cooking and a fluffier texture, so avoid using a high flame.
