🧂 Zutaten
- 1 cup Rice(long-grain white rice)
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 medium Papaya(peeled, seeded, and finely diced)
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
💡 Profitipps: Rinsing removes excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming gummy. - 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and ground cinnamon.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the rice is evenly submerged in the liquid. - 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and become fluffy.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
While the rice is resting, prepare the papaya. Dice half of the papaya finely and mash the other half. This creates a varied texture in the final dish.
💡 Profitipps: Using both diced and mashed papaya adds visual appeal and textural contrast. - 6
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Gently fold in the diced and mashed papaya.
💡 Profitipps: Be gentle when folding in the papaya to avoid breaking up the rice too much. - 7
Serve warm as a side dish or a light dessert.
💡 Profitipps: Can be served chilled as well.
