Tanzanians cook many recipes using coconut milk, which makes this rice thick and creamy. Serve it with grilled meat or stir-fried vegetables for a filling meal.
Adult help needed.

Rinse the rice in cold water and drain.

Add the rice to a medium saucepan over high heat with the rest of the ingredients.
