Instructions
- Rinse the Rice: Wash the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, then drain.
- Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Toast the Cashews: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped cashews and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Fluff and Serve: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro. Top with the toasted cashews before serving. Optionally, serve with lime wedges for an extra zing.
