Remove most of the char and grate. Set aside. Note: This recipe is best when fresh coconut meat is used. Don’t worry about the flame. It is supposed to blaze up due to the natural oils in the coconut.
- Boil the rice in the coconut milk over a low flame. Stir occasionally. Add bay leaves. Leave to cook until all the liquid is absorb and the rice is cooked. Note: You may have to add a little water to prevent sticking, but not too much.
