The ingredients for Thai Rice are:

270g basmati rice (approx 330ml)
50 g creamed coconut
4 cloves garlic
2 large or 3 medium-sized fresh green chillies
4 cm cube root ginger
Handful fresh coriander
1 tablespoons groundnut or other flavourless oil
3 x 2 inch (5 cm) pieces cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
15 black peppercorns
2 medium onions, peeled and finely sliced
100 g fresh peas, or frozen and defrosted
1½ level teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons lime juice

Here is how you make Thai Rice:

1. Dissolve the creamed coconut in 225 ml boiling water, then place it in a food processor with the garlic, chillies, ginger and coriander stalks, whizzing until everything is finely chopped.2. Leave this aside while you heat the oil over a gentle heat in the frying pan, then add the cinnamon sticks, cloves and peppercorns to the pan and sauté everything gently for about 1 minute. 3. Next, add the onions and continue to cook over a medium heat until they become softened and pale gold in colour, which will take 8-10 minutes. 4. Next add the rice, then stir once and cook for another 2-3 minutes. 5. After that, add the coconut mixture, give everything a stir, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. 6. Now add the peas, salt and 425 ml hot water, bring it all up to a gentle simmer, then cover with the lid. Turn the heat to low and let everything cook very gently for 8 minutes; use a timer here, and don't lift the lid.7. Then remove the pan from the heat, take the lid off and cover the pan with a cloth for 10 minutes before serving. Finally, remove the pieces of cinnamon, sprinkle in the lime juice and the finely chopped coriander leaves, then fork the rice gently to separate the grains. Garnish with the reserved whole coriander leaves and serve. Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHEEKYCHOOK.
