2. When the onion begins to turn transparent, add the pepper along with the tomato. You can finely chop them into larger pieces according to taste. Stir everything and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
3. Next, add the coconut milk and grated coconut to the pan. Stir everything to distribute the flavors and add the rice to the cook.
4. Add the water and cook the rice in the traditional way. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover until the rice dries out. If the rice is still too hard, add a little more water, but it shouldn’t be necessary.
