Notes
When you simmer the rice, make sure your heat settings are set to a low-moyen. This will allow the rice to cook in coconut milk before the milk is completely evaporated.
Check the rice every 5 minutes, and if the coconut milk is completely dry and the rice is not well cooked, you can add a little water, reduce the heat to low and simmer covered.
