Coconut Cilantro Turmeric Rice

10 Jan Coconut Cilantro Turmeric Rice

🥥 This coconut cilantro turmeric rice is so rich, creamy, and flavorful. You only need 9 ingredients to make it: rice, water, coconut milk and oil, salt, black pepper, turmeric, leeks, and cilantro. If golden milk was a rice dish, this would be it. If you’re not a fan of turmeric, leave it out. The coconut milk and cilantro add enough flavor and texture.
