Coconut Rice Recipe - (Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker)
Coconut Rice is a flavorful and fragrant rice. This is cooked in the Instant Pot or Pressure cooker. This is simple, hearty and comforting rice recipe.
Add 1 cup of washed and rinsed Jasmine Rice in the Instant Pot. Pour 2 cups of Coconut Milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine everything. Cover with the lid and pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. After the rice gets cooked, allow the pressure to release naturally.
Heat Coconut Oil in a pan. As the oil shimmers, add Dried Red Chilis, Curry Leaves, Black Mustard Seeds, Black Gram (Urad Dal), Split Chickpeas (Chana Dal), Cashew Nuts and Desicated / Shredded Coconut to the pan. Saute until the mustard seeds stop to sizzle.
Once the rice gets cooked, fluff the rice with a fork. Serve it in a bowl. Top with the tempered spices and nuts. Serve immediately.

Notes
Other Possible Alterations
To make the Thai Version, skip the tempered spices. Just garnish with some more dedicated Coconut and fresh Kafir Lime Leaves.
You can skip the seasoning altogether and just serve steamed Coconut Rice, as it is done in the Caribbean or Hawaiian cuisine.
Low Carb Coconut Rice
You can make this low carb by skipping Jasmine Rice and use Cauliflower rice. However, you do not have to steam Cauliflower rice. Just toss it in a skillet with some olive oil, coconut milk, salt, and sweetener. Add some shredded Coconut and Kafir lime leaves on top and serve.
