In Appetizers by Mark MaskerLeave a Comment

The flavor of this Curried Coconut Rice Salad by Byron Bay Chilli Co improves with age. Try to prepare it 24 hours in advance. Slice fruit and arrange salad just before serving. Add cubed chicken or small cooked prawns. To make it extra hot add some drops of the BBCC Habanero Chilli Sauce. Try chilli and lime skewered prawns (main meals) with this salad.

Curried Coconut Rice Salad Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ cup vegetable or macadamia oil
  • ¼ cup lemon or lime juice
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. Bring stock to a boil in a large pot. Stir in rice, curry powder and turmeric. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly with lid removed.
