Method Of Preparation

• First, I break the coconut, take out the coconut and wash it, then proceed to grating it, now I make use of local grater.

• Then I proceed to wash my rice and put in a pot and place it on the stove to cook. Once it's parboiled,I turn it out and wash it.

• Then, I go ahead to pound my crayfish and wash my smoked fish in hot water to wash off the smokey smell and clean the fish.

• Once I'm done preparing everything, I set them aside. Then I pour my coconut flakes into a basin and pour in hot water and allow it sit for minutes.

• Then I pour it inside a sieve and allow it drain out the coconut milk, then I use my hands to squeeze the flakes for more milk to come out.

• I squeeze it into a pot I will use for cooking at once.

• In my pot of coconut milk, I pour in crayfish, salt, pepper, seasoning cubes, onions.

• Then proceed to put the pot of fire, allow it boil then pour in my rice bit by bit till I pour in everything.

• Then allow it to boil and dry up.

• Then I serve it hot and enjoy with a glass of water.

Health Benefit

• Coconut milk extracted from the coconut is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-viral.

• The coconut milk contains saturated fat that promotes brain development and bone health.

This coconut rice is yummy and should be eaten while hot. I would like to invite @benson6, @chiomzy810 to join this contest.
