i had a fantastic curry prawn risotto from firefly bistro, but i lack the patience for the stirstirstir, so i came up with this similar dish for the lazy or harried home version. short grain white rice is cooked in coconut milk with a few tablespoonfuls of curry powder (in a rice cooker), then a handful of toasted dessicated coconut thrown in after cooking. add a few grilled prawns, some sliced sweet cherry tomatoes and green onions. top with cashews fried in garlic and you have a lovely composed dinner; mix it all up and you have a great rice salad for lunch. if you want to do a vegetarian version, smoked tofu goes very well with this or any sort of steamed dark green veggie, like spinach or even okra....

anjali speaks! it was yummy. i like it better mushed up and only a little warm as a salad. i think i'd like to add chili peppers next time to make it spicier.

so did you just substitute coconut milk for water in the rice cooker? it's so simple i can't believe it. it's definitely a must-try!

After bookmarking this recipe long ago, I finally made this coconut curry tonight. Everyone loved it! The only change I made was to make it as an actual risotto (I love that creaminess), adding chicken stock for the extra liquid required. Thanks Santos!
