Check this out! Here’s what your gorgeous dish will look like. Just imagine the creamy, sweet aroma filling your home.
Ingredients
To whip up this delightful dish, you’ll need the following:
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup grated fresh coconut (optional)
- 1/4 cup cashews or almonds (for crunch)
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the good part – the cooking! Follow these simple steps:
- Start by rinsing the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and keeps the rice light and fluffy.
- In your Instant Pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, salt, and cardamom powder. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything.
- Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow for a natural pressure release for about 10 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and add in the grated coconut and nuts for that extra crunch. Mix it gently.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves. You can also sprinkle a little more sugar if you like it sweeter!
This Instant Pot Sweet Coconut Rice is a game changer, y’all! It’s creamy, sweet, and so easy to make. Perfect for any occasion, it will definitely have your family and friends coming back for seconds. Enjoy the love and flavor on your plate!
