Does anyone here know how to prepare cococnut rice?pls i need your assistance.

2 coconuts
3cups of rice
pepper
onion
maggi
salt


--Break your coconut and remove the shell.
--Cut coconut into sizable piece, pour into blender, add water and blend till smooth
--sieve (to get juice) throw away the chaff
--pour coconut juice into your pot, add slice onion and pepper (only if you like pepper) and bring to boil
--add your rice, maggi and salt to taste
--reduce heat and cook till rice is soft

you are ready for wacking 

Note: sometimes i use Ata rodo pepper, slice tomatoes (atimes i blend my tomatoe and onion and pour into the coconut juice). coconut rice is also good without tomato and pepper
for plain coconut rice, i don't use tomato.
Try each way (plain or orishirishi added) and see the one you like. Happy eating. Now you made me hungry of coconut rice the more

It looks a little bit strange ,

Just wt i think ya

yummy

so what is strange about using Coconut Juice to cook rice?

it's like you use water to cook rice (coconut juice just replace your water).

now explain what's strange about it. i have seen people eating Oyster raw with coconut juice.

food is a gift appreciate it omo 

@Jaysworld, you are welcome. Yes it is simple

I haven't try it yet,

But I think the taste of ' Mixed coconout juice and rice' will be quite stange.

It's because the coconout juice is sweet,

Maybe it is my problem.

Um,,,,I will try it in my spare time!

By the way, I think the recipe is quite novel!

Thank you!

haven't you heard of people using sugar to cook their soup, rice, noodles? Yes i have seen people pouring sugar into their stews.

coconut/coconut juice can be used in making different things. there are coconut pie and coconut soup etc if you go to the South like New Orleans. The juice isn't that sweet mind you. Nothing sweet as in sugary taste in coconut rice. a trial will convince you.
Cheers.

@Omoge

Nice Job. . and thanks for adding up to the method of cooking cRice. . .

sieve (to get juice) throw away the chaff

Nope! I beg to differ here, the chaff can be verrry useful and tasty. . . just add some sugar, mix well and pour into your pan. . . allow to heat dry till brownish in colour. . .here come a good appetiser. . .  

Actually I don't throw mine away , I love to use the chaff as well. . .

omoge or anyone else,have you people used coconut milk in cans to cook coconut rice?
tried it once it was a disaster!!
didn't know whether to eat the coconut rice with cutlery or roll it into a bolus like foo foo using my bare hands
what did I do wrong?

I haven't tried it yet, @Nwando, you could be very funny atimes    thank you for making me laugh each time i read through your posts. 

funny you.

Nwando, *laughing*

i have seen it but haven't tried it because I don't know how many years it has been there  .
anyway sha, I just like doing things like we do it at home  . . . go backyard and break my coconut  . because of working the coconut from scratch, i make coconut rice once in a while.

OlowoTee, i tried that chaff kini and sugar once. I didn't like it. not tasty because no more juice in there.
so my chaff always ends up in the trash.

@nwando
sorry it didnt work for you but we use the can coconut milk to cook rice, and it never comes out mushy. We add one can of coconut milk into our tomato/pepper mixture. so when it cooks the rice has a red color to it, just like jollof. You might be adding too much, we just use 1 Goya can for a whole pot of rice.

omoge:

2 coconuts
3cups of rice
pepper
onion
maggi
salt

with so much coconuts the rice is bound to be oily.
better yet, bring to boil the one nut(after blending and extracting the juice), ADD sprigs of thyme, eskellion and pepper.
when the juice begin to curd and the smell of the condiments begin to raft in the air add the rice. allow to simmer and cook.

too much coconut milk. you needed to have diluted the milk.

eh madam, just post your own recipe, thank you

I made Omoge's recipe with 2 cups rice, 1 cup canned coconut milk, 3 cups water and the other ingredients. It came out yummy. Thanks!
