Steps:

• Put the rice, salt and 2 cups coconut milk and water in a pan. Over medium heat bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat, cover with lid and simmer very gently until the rice is done, about 20-25 minutes.
• Just before serving, add thick coconut milk and fluff up with a fork (not a spoon or you will mush up the rice). Serve with beef or chicken stew and vegetables of your choice.
