- 150ml coconut milk
- 1 unwaxed lime, zest, plus 1 tbsp juice

Method
Boil the kettle. Wash the rice under cold water a few times until the water runs clear. Put the rice into a large saucepan, then add the onion, garlic and thyme
Pour 250ml of just-boiled water over the rice, along with the coconut milk. Cover and cook over a low heat for 20-25 minutes, until tender, topping up with a little water occasionally if needed. Remove and discard the garlic and thyme.
