Rinse and drain the rice in plenty of running water a few times until the water runs clear. Pour the drinking water in to a large cooking pot or a pan and add the drained rice to it. You may either let the rice soak in water for a couple of hours or continue cooking with the rice without soaking.
Put the pan with the rice over a gas stove and ignite the gas to medium flame. Pour the coconut milk and salt in to the soaking rice and give everything a nice stir. Let the water come to a boil over medium flame.
Turn the gas flame to the lowest, cover the pan and let the rice cook on simmer. You will have to intermittently uncover the pan and keep a check on the rice so that the water does not boil over from the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of more drinking water in case the cooking water is drying up too soon.
Once the rice is almost cooked and no more water is visible, turn the heat to maximum and uncover the lid. Let the rice cook until there is no more water bubbling at the top. Turn off the flame and cover the pan with a lid again for 10 minutes. Garnish the rice with sesame seeds and desiccated coconut. Serve the hot rice and enjoy with any Asian curry of your choice!
