Ingredients:

2 cups Jade rice
3 cups water
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 dried red chilli
3/4 tsp mustard seed
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp fenugreek
10 cashews
10 curry leaves
1 coconut (grated)

Instructions:

Rinse the Jade rice under cold water until there’s no starch running out of it and the water is clear.
Put the rice and water into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and steam for 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes, covered.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot add the chilli, mustard seed, cumin seed, fenugreek, cashews and curry leaves and cook until the cashews are toasted.
Add most of the coconut, cook for 5 minutes and then add the rice, cooking until it's hot.
Garnish with the remaining coconut and serve.
