Tampa Coconut Cilantro Rice image

This is a Kerala (Southern India) rendition of coconut rice. It's a tad sweeter than regular rice which cuts through much of the spice found in an accompaniment of a spicy curry such as chicken curry.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. Maybe I added too much water.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk and it turned out great!

I'm not usually a fan of coconut rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The cilantro and lime give it a really fresh, summery flavor.
