Ingredients
- 450 grams (1 pound) raw long-grain white rice
- 4 green cardamom pods bruised
- 1.2 liters (42 fluid ounces) coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 150 milliliters (5 fluid ounces) coconut cream
- vegetable oil for greasing
Instructions
- Wash and drain the rice, then put it in a heavy-based saucepan with the cardamom pods, coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally over high heat for 10 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated to the level of the rice.
- Add the coconut cream, cover and reduce the heat to low, then cook without stirring for 12 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
- Using a wooden spoon, combine the hot rice well, then pour onto a 30 centimeter (12 inch) tray or platter so that the rice is at least 5 centimeters (2 inches) deep.
- Roll up a tea towel (dish towel), wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to resemble a rolling pin, then lightly grease it with vegetable oil and use to pat the hot rice mixture down until the top is even and smooth.
- While the rice is still warm, cut into 6 centimeter (2 1/2 inch) diamonds and eat hot or cold.
