The black Venus rice is the star of the dish. The nutty, earthy sweetness and the way it slowly changes the colour of the milk. I use coconut milk to bring another dimension to the dish. The rice is slightly chewy, and coconut flakes crunchy. They go together perfectly. This easy, versatile dish is quick to make, and stores in the fridge if you can’t eat all at once.

Steps

1

Cook rice in a cooker on a short rice setting. Use 2 cups of water/ 1 cup of rice.
2

While the rice is cooking, mix enough jaggery sugar to coconut milk to make it taste sweet enough for you. I chop the sugar very small, add a little bit of hot water to it, and mix it until it melts into a paste. Then pour in and mix it with the coconut milk.

Once the rice is cooked, scoop a bit into a bowl, pour over some milk, and sprinkle some coconut flakes on the top. The rice is best while still warm, giving contrast to the cold milk. Enjoy!
