Ingredients

• 2 cups rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups coconut milk (or whole milk)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0 optional toppings (like sugar or jaggery)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.

Step 3

Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed.

Step 4

Stir the rice gently, then add the coconut milk (or whole milk) and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the milk and salt.

Step 5

Continue to cook the rice over low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency. The rice grains should be soft and fully cooked.

Step 6

Once the desired texture is achieved, remove the pot from the heat. Let the Milk Rice cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish.

Step 7

Spread the Milk Rice evenly in the serving dish and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Allow it to cool and set for a few minutes, if desired.

Step 8

Cut the Milk Rice into squares or diamonds for serving. Optionally, serve with sugar, jaggery, or savory accompaniments like chili paste or curries.
