How to cook simple yet easy coconut milk rice?

Ingredients:
Rice - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Coconut milk - 1 cup
Oil/ghee - 2 teaspoon
Cinnamon - 1 inch bark
Cloves - 3 numbers
Salt - as per taste

Cooking time: 15-20 mins

You may either extract fresh coconut milk or use a ready made one. I prefer using ready made one from Dabur as its less messy and easily available.

Soak washed rice for about 10-15 mins. You may want to stick to the rice water measurement of 1:2 this time to ensure that we dont end up with over cooked or clumpy rice.

I am using the pressure cooker method to cook coconut milk rice. 

Add 2 teaspoon Oil/ghee to a warm pressure cooker and add cinnamon & cloves. Once the cloves splutter add 1 cup of water and then add 1 cup of thick coconut milk. You may then add the washed, soaked rice. Add the desired salt and you may start pressure cooking.

I generally cook the rice for 2 whistles in pressure cooker.

My mum serves coconut rice with tomato chutney.
