Ingredients:

• Jasmine Rice: 1 cup
• Coconut Milk: 1 cup
• Water: 1 cup
• Ripe Mango: 1 cup, diced
• Fresh Lime Juice: 1 tablespoon
• Fresh Grated Coconut or Toasted Coconut Flakes: 1/4 cup
• Fresh Cilantro: A handful, chopped
• Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh Lime Zest: For garnish
• Fresh Mint Leaves: For garnish

Method:

1. Cook the Rice:
   • Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water.
   • In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and absorbs the liquid.
2. Prepare the Mango:
   • While the rice is cooking, peel and dice the ripe mango.
3. Fluff the Rice:
   • Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly.
4. Add the Tropical Elements:
   • Gently fold the diced mango into the rice, along with the lime juice and fresh grated coconut (or toasted coconut flakes) for a sweet and creamy texture.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Top the rice with chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of fresh lime zest. Garnish with mint leaves for a burst of aroma.
6. Enjoy:
   • Serve the Tropical Mango Coconut Rice warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a refreshing tropical main course.

Tips for Personalization:

• Add a protein twist by serving this dish with grilled fish, prawns, or chicken for a fuller meal.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or crushed roasted peanuts on top.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or coconut sugar if desired.

Tropical Mango Coconut Rice is more than just a rice dish – it’s a journey through the flavours of the Pacific Islands, offering a balance of creamy, tangy, and sweet. Perfect for a light tropical meal or as a unique side dish for a larger feast.
