Add the onions and continue to cook over a medium heat until they become softened and pale gold in colour which will take 8 to 10 minutes.

Add the rice then stir once and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the coconut mixture give everything a stir and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the peas salt and hot water bring it all up to a gentle simmer then cover with the lid. Turn the heat to low and let everything cook very gently for 8 minutes; use a timer here and dont lift the lid.

Remove the pan from the heat take the lid off and cover the pan with a cloth for 10 minutes before serving.

Remove the pieces of cinnamon sprinkle in the lime juice and the finely chopped coriander leaves then fork the rice gently to separate the grains.

Garnish with the reserved whole coriander leaves and serve with the thai creamed coconut chicken (qv).

This thankfully is a thai recipe that doesnt require all the speciality ingredients that are sometimes so elusive. The list of ingredients again seems rather long but it is made in moments and has a lovely fragrant flavour.
