    I just made this today, and I liked it. However, I tweaked it a little to turn it into a main course. I added more garlic, some curry, and I used chicken stock in place of the water for more depth. After adding the liquid, I added some frozen peas and carrots and poached some chicken breasts in the same liquid that I added to the rice, then added the chicken to the rice after it was all done. The curry gave it a real kick. Also, make sure to taste for salt at the end - you may need to add extra salt.

    seeing as how i never saw the episode i had no idea how hard it was to open a coconut and then grind the meat. it could have been a short comedy actually...

    when finsished with it i felt like it was missing something, not sure, and i followed the recipe almost to a T. i had rice similar to this in a restaurant and it tasted better...

    I wish there was a way to simplify this recipe even more; esp. since i think it really should be rated as moderate difficulty and not easy

    I tried this for a crowd for my husbands birthday party. (Luau theme Everyone loved it. I was in such a rush to get everything on the table that I forgot the coconut. It was still very good.

    I was asked to make a salad for a Lioness event. because I had received a 15# bag of basmatic rice from a customer, I thought I would take advantage. Recipe says it serves 4 so I added a 3rd cup of rice and adjusted recipe accordingly. Ended up with enough to serve an army. Good thing it was so good.

    I made this for a dinner party with a Hawaiian salad and chicken shishkabobs marinated. It was amazing!!!! Definitely was a hit. I will make it again for sure. I followed recipe exactly.

    This is a great rice dish. Very different for us and we both loved it. We will be serving this the next time we entertain.

    Such an easy receipe and it carried very good flavors. I just love anything with coconut milk. I thought it needed a little bit of salt but except for that it was great. I plan on using it for a party coming up soon and will be serving it in coconut shells.

    The receipe was really easy to follow, and the rice came out not too sticky, but I added a mixture of dried basil and dried mint and it helped give it more flavor. I also omitted the green onions and sauted an onion until just barely carmelized and this gave it a great flavor. I might also add raisins next time. YUM!
