Mauri!

This blog is dedicated to all i-Kiribati people whose laughter I can never forget, whose hospitality I enjoy the most and whose curiosity about cooking inspires me to set up this blog.

If you happen to like cooking or be interested in doing some cooking and keen on knowing more varieties that you can have on your dining table, this blog can hopefully share some useful ideas with you.

Please note that not all of these recipes are my sole creativity; I am trying to include some others that are from the Internet or from people around me. However, the availability of resources - such as vegetables, meat, herbs, and spices – is always taken into consideration.

Enjoy browsing around and finding what menu you could have for your cooking and dining experience.

Yellow rice

Ingredients:

  • 500gr long-grain rice
  • a small cup of coconut milk
  • 3 lime leaves
  • a pinch of turmeric/saffron powder
  • some water
  • salt to taste


Cooking tools:

  • a pot
  • a spatula


Methods of cooking:

  1. Clean the rice thoroughly then put it into a pot.
  2. Add some water into the pot, usually about 2 cm from the surface of the rice.
  3. Add the salt, turmeric/saffron powder and lime leaves into the pot.
  4. Cook the rice for about 30 minutes, or until there is only a little water in it. Occasionally stir it. During the last 10 minutes, cover the pot and simmer it until there is no more water.
  5. Pour the coconut milk into the pot and mix it slowly with the rice. Cover the pot and simmer it until the coconut milk runs out.
