Yes, you heard that right - you can still enjoy rice while shedding those extra pounds. Now, let's talk about dinner.

Ingredients:

2 cups of rice (preferably basmati rice), washed and rinsed

3 cups of water

A handful of fresh curry leaves

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

A pinch of salt

 

Cooking Method:

Heat up your rice cooker and add the curry leaves. Give them a quick stir and let them crisp up, releasing their delightful aroma.

Add the washed rice and stir it gently for a while, allowing it to absorb the flavors of the curry leaves.

Pour in the water and add a pinch of salt. Give it another stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Now, it's time to let the rice cooker do its magic. Close the lid and let it cook until perfectly done.

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it up with a chopstick or fork. You'll be greeted by a fragrant cloud of coconut and curry leaf goodness.
