Ingredients

• Bamboo rice - 100 grams
• Water - 600 ml
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Ginger - 1 inch piece, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green chilies - 1, slit
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh coriander - for garnish
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse the bamboo rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 15 minutes.
2. In a large pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.
3. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in turmeric powder and sauté for another minute.
5. Drain the soaked bamboo rice and add it to the pot, stirring well to coat the rice with the spices.
6. Pour in the 600 ml of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the water.
7. Once the rice is cooked, add coconut milk and salt to taste. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.
