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

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.

Another thing to keep in mind is to season the rice well. Strike a balance between the sweet and salty flavours for perfect results.

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.
