Instant Pot Coconut Lime Rice
Description
Instant Pot Coconut Lime Rice combines rinsed basmati rice with coconut milk and water or stock, seasoned lightly with salt and enriched with butter and lime zest before pressure cooking. The high-pressure setting cooks the rice evenly and quickly while infusing it with the coconut and citrus flavors. After a natural pressure release and fluffing, fresh cilantro and lime juice are stirred in to add herbaceous notes and acidity.
The rice comes out tender but separate, carrying the tropical sweetness of coconut balanced by the lime's tartness and the fresh scent of cilantro. This preparation pairs well with a variety of dishes where a mildly flavored yet aromatic rice side is desired.

- 2 cup basmati rice
- 398 ml coconut milk full fat (1 can)
- ¼ cup water or stock (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 lime juiced and zested

- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Rinse and drain rice in cold tap water.
