One-Pot Turmeric Coconut Rice With Greens

After reading the reviews, I made the following changes to make this dish more flavorful. I sautéed 3 large minced garlic cloves and 1 inch piece of ginger with 5 thinly sliced scallion whites. I used one can of coconut milk and homemade chicken broth to cook the rice. Before serving, I added one half bunch of cilantro leaves as well as the coconut mixture. The lime zest and juice also add nice flavor. I will gladly make this again!

Made with light coconut milk, tasted great. Calories per serving is inaccurate- even using light coconut milk, this dish is close to 520 kcal/serving for 4 servings, not 369 as noted. Full fat coconut milk adds another 100 kcal, bringing total to 620/serving.

Hi guys! We saw your notes about this dish being bland, so we reached out to Ali Slagle, the developer. She said this dish is meant to be pretty mild despite the color, but if you want more oomph, add more turmeric and saffron, and don't skimp on salt and pepper while cooking.

This was excellent. I added chopped snap peas, beet greens and prawns that steamed in the last 5 minutes. Gave it all a toss and added a little water to the pot for a little extra steam. Will totally make his again. Might try it with some white fish

A good recipe with potential to be great if you add some stuff to enhance the coconut and turmeric flavors. I added 4 garlic cloves and chili flakes to the scallions mixture when sautéed plus a bunch more scallions. Was going to add ginger but forgot, will definitely add some next time. I added some cilantro before serving, extra lime zest and some more salt&pepper. Used a mix of baby spinach/arugula and baby kale and it was delicious.

Cooked recipe as listed. Added firm tofu with the greens. Delish!

The ratio of rice & liquid= 1:1, 1 cup rice to 1 cup liquid, in this recipe the coconut milk is liquid. As for rice, it depends on the type of rice you use, long grain rice is 1:1, short/round grain rice use a little bit less liquid as in 1/2 TBSP less. Basmati/brown rice, you need 1TBSP more. You readjust as you try according to your taste. This formula is for plain rice & no vegetables add-in after. If you add-in vegetables, you need the cooked rice to be on the dry side bc the veggies yield

Very good,but kind of bland and makes a lot. Added a handful of toasted, chopped pistachios and some red pepper flakes. Golden raisins might make a good addition too. Have plenty of leftovers to serve as a side, maybe with some roasted salmon?

I used light coconut milk, and I added about a tbsp of fish sauce because the base seemed a little bland. Spinach and tofu on top. Delicious!

I made this with a lot of additions that were recommended, I added 4 green onions, a jalapeño, and fresh ginger. I used low-fat coconut milk and then for the water I used chicken broth and at the end also added some broccoli and shredded chicken thigh. It was delicious!

Good reviews here too. I threw in a can of chickpeas for protein (added in step 6).

I used 3 scallions, garlic, and a heaping tablespoon of green curry paste in the rice. Used a cube of vegetable bouillon instead of salt. If you use the two cans of liquid the recipe calls for, you'd end up with 28oz--far too much for the typical 1:1 rice to liquid ratio. I added enough water to the coconut milk to make it 2 cups, or 16 fluid ounces. I cooked the rice for 10 minutes after adding the greens and that resulted in well cooked, not-mushy rice.

Made as listed (w saffron) and cooked firm tofu on the side. It makes a MOUNTAIN of rice. Felt like it needed more salt and was a little bland for a main course but great as a side and 1/2 the recipe. Would make again.

Added Coriander, red pepper flakes, and garlic to step 3. Used Veggie stock along with coconut milk and added Shrimp at the end. Yummy! Extra spices are necessary, otherwise would be pretty bland

I made this with brown rice. I used the same amounts of liquid but increased the cooking time quite a bit--20 minutes before adding spinach, grated carrots, and frozen shrimp. Cooked 15 min more and let sit for 5 min. Added fish sauce to coconut milk and red pepper flakes. Definitely don't skip the toasted coconut/sesame seed garnish! Trader Joes is now selling unsweetened coconut chips--bigger than flakes and they worked perfectly in this!
