This is a Swahili dish (
Wali is cooked rice and
nazi is coconut in Swahili) popular in
Zanzibar, Lamu and Mombasa.
Ingredients:
400g
basmati rice, washed, rinsed and soaked in water for 20 minutes before being drained
600ml thin coconut milk and 200ml thick
coconut milk
cooked diced carrots and cooked frozen peas (optional)
salt, to taste
Method:
Add the coconut milk to a pan and bring to a boil before adding the rice and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly then reduce the heat to very low. Add the thick coconut milk and continue stirring whilst the mixture simmers. Reduce the heat to very low and cover tightly. It's best to put a sheet of foil over the top of the pan and put the lid on top of this. Allow the mixture to steam for about 25 minutes then serve with a meat or fish stew or any West African curry.
If desired, you can stir in the carrot pieces and peas at the end of cooking then continue cooking gently for 5 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
