Tropical Fusion: Spicy Mango Coconut Rice Recipe

Today’s Delight: Spicy Mango Coconut Rice

As the warm weather starts to roll in, I find myself craving dishes that are both refreshing and flavorful. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Coconut Rice. This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory, with just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting.

To make this exotic dish, you’ll need the following ingredients (approximate weights provided):

• 200g long-grain rice
• 400ml coconut milk
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 red chili, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lime, juiced
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt to taste

Before you begin cooking, make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

• Saucepan
• Wooden spoon
• Knife
• Cutting board

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and stir well to combine. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.

Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the diced mango, red chili, and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

To serve, scoop the Spicy Mango Coconut Rice into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. The combination of the sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, and spicy chili will tantalize your taste buds with each bite.
