• 300ml/½pt coconut milk
• 2 ripe mangoes

1. Drain and rinse rice well.

4. While rice is steaming, combine sugar and coconut milk in a large bowl and stir well.
5. When cooked, transfer rice to coconut mixture and stir thoroughly for 2-3 minutes to achieve a rather creamy consistency.
6. Cover with a lid and allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
