Sri Lankan Milk Rice

Ingredients

• 2 cups white rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups thick coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 stick cinnamon

Method

Put the rice and water into a pan and bring to a boil. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes. Add coconut milk, salt and cinnamon stick, stirring well with a large fork. Cover the pan again and cook on a very low heat for 10-15 minutes, when all the coconut milk should be absorbed. Remove the cinnamon, cool slightly and serve.
