These are all the ingredients i will be needing for the entire preparation;

Preparation Process

coconut

Here is my already cracked and washed coconut, the quantity of rice i used was not so mush so just one coconut was enough for the cooking.

I blend the coconut, turn it into a bowl then added lukewarm water to extract the juice from it,
The coconut juice is my main ingredient.

I neatly seived the coconut water out from the shaft and poured it into a clean pot cover and set aside while i parboiled the rice i will be using.

I washed the parboiled rice clean and turned in into the coconut juice i had earlier set aside.
I boil the rice for just 10 minutes because the coconut juice will serve as water so it does not need to soften.

This is a native way of preparing coconut rice so i added dried fish, onions, seasoning cube, salt, crayfish, blended scotch bonnet pepper, i added all the ingredients before i placed it on the fire to cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.

Delicious native coconut rice was ready to be served after 20 minutes, i served a portion for two people.
