I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Place TM steaming basket into TM bowl.
Weigh rice into basket then rinse under cold tap water, gently massaging the rice with your fingers whilst rinsing.
Put the TM basket into the TM bowl and add coconut milk, water, salt and pandan leaf (if using). Cook for 22 minutes on varoma speed 4. Turn the speed up to 5 or 6 for a few seconds only, until the liquid rinses over the rice in the basket, then turn back down to speed 4.
When the rice has finished cooking, remove the basket and place into a thermoserver or large metal bowl. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid over the rice, then cover the thermoserver with alfoil. Let the rice rest in the basket and thermoserver for 10 minutes, remove the pandan leaf, then fluff with a fork before serving. 
Tip
I use Ayam brand coconut milk or cream for this recipe.
Jasmine rice works well.
If a more subtle coconut flavour is preferred, skip the step of turning the speed up for a few seconds when it starts cooking. And leave out pouring the extra cooking liquid to the cooked rice.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Great recipe - used 800gm coconut cream and reduced the water amount accordingly, added 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, the pandan leaf and poured all the leftover cooking liquid over the rice in the thermoserver. It was an absolute hit in our house and will be a favourite from now on.
09.02.21 - I now use 350gm basmati rice (rinsed) with 800gm coconut milk and 200gm water, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar and pour all the liquid over the rice in the thermoserver - rice is less gluggy and separates nicely. I do have pandan leaves in the freezer (purchased frozen from an asian grocers) to use with this rice but if you don't have them, you can place one lemongrass stalk or slices of ginger on top of the rice for additional flavour.
connell2017: I have never had that problem so I can't comment on that sorry
JacquelineSinclair: sorry you've had a bad experience with this. I created the recipe specifically because every other coconut rice has no flavour in it. This works a treat! Do you use pandan leaves? And are you using the faster speed as per the recipe, to get the liquid to rinse over the rice when you first put it on?
Delicious
Has anyone had trouble with theirs boiling over? I followed the recipe and instructions but it keeps bubbling up and almost boiling over 😩
The rice is as nice as it is when following the basic boiled rice recipe.
I was expecting more of a coconut flavour which I'm just not getting following this recipe. I've tried it twice and I feel like I am just wasting a lot of coconut milk 😓
Delicious and super easy to make
This was absolutely delish and so easy I used coconut cream will try with Pandan leaf next time
My family love this rice. We also eat it with an Indian Curry or Chinese dish as well as Thai as it complements them all. My kids could eat it as is if I let them 😉
This is rice is delicious! The aroma through my house whilst cooking
will become our staple on Thai food nights. Thanks Tania
