Coconut Rice ( Nasi Lemak)

Ingredients:


* 2 cups Thai jasmine-scented white rice or 2 cups Basmati Rice
* 1+1/2 cups thick, good-quality coconut milk (not "lite")
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 2 bay leaf
* ginger paste - 1/4 tsp
* spices - cardamom,cloves,pepper,cinnamon for seasoning rice

# Place rice in rice cooker. Add all the ingredients. Stir well (use a plastic or wooden utensil to avoid scraping off the non-stick surface).
# Cover and set to cook.
# Once your rice cooker switches to "warm" mode, allow another 8-10 minutes for rice to finish "steaming". This will ensure your coconut rice is fully cooked and pleasantly sticky.
# Gently fluff with chopsticks before serving. Serve your coconut rice with other Thai dishes or shrimp sambal or fish curry
# If desired can garnish with fried cashews & raisins
