Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the tropical flavors of mango and coconut with a spicy kick! This dish is perfect for those days when you want to transport your taste buds to a sunny island paradise. Let’s get cooking!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 200g jasmine rice
• 400ml coconut milk
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 red chili, thinly sliced
• 1 lime, juiced
• A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of black pepper

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• knife
• cutting board
• measuring cup

Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, diced mango, sliced red chili, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir well to mix everything together.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat, then add the rinsed jasmine rice. Stir gently to combine, then cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the rice cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it up with a fork and taste for seasoning. Adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the rice and give it a final stir to incorporate the fresh herb.

Serve the spicy mango coconut rice hot as a standalone dish or as a side to your favorite protein. The combination of sweet mango, creamy coconut, and spicy chili will delight your taste buds with each bite.

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 250g. One serving of this spicy mango coconut rice is estimated to be around 300 calories.

A unique tip for this dish is to garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an extra crunch and tropical flavor.
