I am so pleased and thrillled to join this great community.
I live food, I love eating and so I love cooking to. In Africa especially Nigeria where I come from one quality to know a good wife material is her cooking skills and abilities. No matter how beautiful you are if you can't cook as a Nigerian girl then you are not fit for marriage, that the mentality we have over here. In shot there is an adage that says The way to a man's heart is food, so we do not joke over here.
I am from Akwaibom in Nigeria and so we have several delicacies, so as times goes on I will be showing you how to prepare our different local dishes and delicacies. But today I will showing us how to prepare coconut rice, hope you will love it?🤗🤗🤗🤗

First of all you purchase coconut after purchasing your coconut, you detach it from it shell👇👇👇👇👇

After detaching it you wash it with clean water👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

After washing it with clean water, you rinse your grater together with the tray wash it clean and thoroughly. After doing that you can set to grate the coconut in the grater👇👇👇👇👇👇

While grating it you can as well measure your cup of rice and keep on the fire depending on the quantity of coconut you have, so while parboiling the rice you are grating the coconut. Well grinding the coconut manually is applicable if the coconut is in small quantity but if its in much quantity maybe you have a child dedication, wedding, coronation etc.You can grind it in a grinding mill.
Before you must have finished grating the coconut the rice must have gotten done to the extent of bringing it down, mind you you must allowed the rice to be too soft, least when you add the coconut water and other ingredient and place it on the fire before you know it the rice must have been very soft with some water inside and might probably get burnt beneath😜😜.

o when you are done grating, add little warm water to the coconut, use a spoon to mix it well👇👇👇👇👇

Get a sieveter and sieve the coconut water into the pot you want to use and then cover it.👇👇👇👇👇

When you are done preparing turn all of them into the pot of coconut water and stair very well. After staring you then turn the washed rice into the pot and stair too, then keep it on the fire, whether on gas, stove or firewood, but I most times prefer cooking my food with the firewood, 😜😜😜 don't blame me though I am a village girl😁😁😁.👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Allow for some minutes, keep checking till the water is dried up in the rice and you bring it down. Then its ready to serve😝😝😝, you can serve it with cool drink, or better still garnish it with cucumber, banana etc. and then sit to enjoy your meal.
