Coconut & Basmati

With our Success® Basmati Rice on hand, you can whip up this simple dish any day of the week! We like to use basmati for this Coconut Lime Rice because it’s perfect for absorbing the coconut milk in this recipe. Paired with lime zest, this rice has a delectable, fragrant aroma. A long grain rice, basmati stays loose and doesn’t stick together like short-grain varieties.

With the help of our boil-in-bag method, there’s no way you can go wrong with this recipe. Simply pre-cook the rice, either in the microwave or on the stove, and you’re halfway there. Other ingredients include chicken broth, the juice and zest of one lime and a half a cup of coconut milk.

Pair With a Curry

The possibilities are endless when pairing your Coconut Lime Rice with curry. Make your rice vegetarian by swapping the chicken stock for veggie and pairing it with Vegetarian Curry with Spinach, Tomato and Chickpeas. If you’re in the mood for chicken, make our Easy Indian Curried Chicken, traditionally referred to as Murgh Kari.
