900ml coconut milk
2 tsp galangal (fresh or dried)
1/2 tsp green peppercorns, crushed
2 tsp lemongrass
200g Long Grain Rice (Preferably Jasmine)

Soak the galangal and lemongrass in hot water for an hour to soften, then mash together. Place the mash in a pan and mix with the coconut milk, sea salt, green peppercorns, nutmeg and cloves. Bring this to the boil, stir in the rice, cover and gently simmer for 12 minutes.

Stir thoroughly and cook covered until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice tender, about 5 minutes (add a bit more coconut milk if necessary.)
