   Wash and soak rice in water (just enough to cover the rice) mixed with turmeric powder and salt for 4 to 5 hours.
2. 2

4. 4

5. 5
   Add salt to the last 1/3 portion of the coconut milk. Stir well to mix then add to the rice. Steam for 5 minutes then remove rice from steamer and set aside to cool before serving.
