Nigerian Coconut Rice is one of my favourite rice dishes to eat. This is a dish that I learnt from one of my friend’s while I was living in a shared accommodation in Australia as an International student. It is cooked with coconut milk and spices. So delicious and pairs well with any grilled meat or vegetables. This is my version of the Spicy Coconut Rice. For my recipe, I have decided to add a variety of peppers. However, if spicy food is not your thing, then you can skip it. But in all honesty, the additional peppers do make this recipe a flavour bomb.
