Rice a la Bounty

I am in India now. In the south, more precisely in Kerala.

And one thing that is amazing here is food. One of my favourite rice variation is Coconut Rice, wehich tastes almost like Bounty chocolate, without the chocolate.

How to? for 1 person (increase ingredients if cooking for more)

cook the rice (the best type is Basmati)

Then heat the oil and throw in and stir:
2 whole red chilies
some fresh curry leaves
mustard seeds (1 little spoon)
some fresh cumin
cloves
cinamon (fresh)
cashwenuts
raisins

Then add freshly grated coconut (half of the amount of rice)

and stir some more....
at the end add rice, stir and serve with freshly choped coriander.

Voila, Bounty rice is served:)

The rice goes fatnastic with any other spicy or non spicy indian dish:)

Buon Apetite!
