Turmeric coconut rice is the recipe I’m sharing today, I love turmeric and coconut. Turmeric has a lot of benefits that helps us and I linked a comprehensive post about the benefits of turmeric in my other Turmeric Rice (Slow Cooker Recipe) post please check it out.
So, today’s recipe is slightly different from the previous post about turmeric this one is turmeric coconut rice which means it was cooked in coconut which changes the taste and gives it a coconutty flavor. I toasted the rice in the spice which helps enhance the flavor. I used sweet peppers, peas, and carrot but they’re optional you can cook it without the three ingredients and still get good flavor rice.
