I’m excited to share this recipe for Spicy Mango Coconut Rice with you all today. The sweet and tropical flavors of mango combined with the creamy coconut milk and a kick of spice make this dish a perfect balance of flavors. It’s a great way to bring a taste of the tropics to your dinner table any time of the year.

Ingredients:

• 250g jasmine rice
• 400ml coconut milk
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 red chili, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 lime, juiced
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a saucepan, heat some coconut oil and sauté the garlic, ginger, and red chili until fragrant. Add the rice and stir to coat in the aromatic mixture.

Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.

Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the diced mango, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve the Spicy Mango Coconut Rice warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a flavorful main course. The creamy coconut milk, sweet mango, and spicy chili create a unique and satisfying combination of flavors that will transport you to a tropical paradise.
