   Kuharjeva opomba: Ensure the lid is tight to prevent steam from escaping.

   After 15 minutes, check if most of the water has been absorbed by the rice.

4. 4

   Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and add the salt to the pot.

5. 5

   Stir gently to combine, then cover again and continue to simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and creamy, and the coconut milk is absorbed.

   Kuharjeva opomba: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, especially towards the end of cooking.

   Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
