Coconut Turmeric Rice

Coconut Turmeric Rice

Growing up, one of the things my family ate most was RICE! There were even times I would be perfectly content eating a bowl of rice topped with black pepper, butter and occasionally a sauce like General Tso’s. Actually my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Because I love rice so much, I’ve always loved experimenting with different kinds of rice. This led me to Coconut Turmeric Rice!

How to Make Coconut Turmeric Rice

Making this rice was super easy! Round up just six ingredients and you’re all set! You’ll start by sautéing some minced garlic in an oil of your choice. For an oil-free version, you can omit the oil and sauté with water instead. Next, you’ll simply add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring it to a boil.

While the pot is boiling, it’s important to keep an eye on it. Especially when you notice that most of the liquid is gone. At this point, you want to make sure that you’re stirring the rice frequently so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. This is why I suggest using a non-stick pot to cook the rice in on the recipe card. There’s nothing worse than accidentally cooking the rice too long and half of it being stuck to the bottom of the pan. Yikes!

    AMAZING! This rice is so fun and delicious! It also makes great leftovers to add to other roasted veggies the next day. The flavor is so great from the slight sweetness of the coconut and then the earthy, spice of the turmeric. It is just delicious!
