I really loved the flavor of this rice, it was quite lovely. I made it in my rice cooker, but I may try doing this on the stove top next time because frying the shallots first sounds quite intriguing. The lime leaves give a nice citrus touch to a lightly spicy rice with just the right amount of coconut. The flavors blend well, and nothing is too overpowering. I will definitely make this again, thanks for sharing a great recipe and hope you like the photo!

I've made this twice now in my rice cooker and it's been a hit both times. I think it's a great mix of flavors but yet not too overpowering. I have not added sugar or the lime leaf on either occasions, I really didn't think the sugar was necessary. Thanks for sharing!!!

This was easy to make, I made it in my rice cooker. I like the concept of it but I think it uses too much turmeric. It is not too spicy, but it has too much spice, which gathers in a kind of gritty way around the rice. It could also use less coconut milk because it is a bit greasy. I tried this with light coconut milk. If I were to make this type of rice again, I would use half the spices and replace half of the coconut milk with water.

I liked this recipe a lot. The rice was so moist and the leftovers were even better. I did not use any sugar or kaffir lime leaves since I didn't have any; instead I used some lime juice on the rice before I served it. Next time, I think I would use slightly less spices, since I think there might have been a bit too much and it was causing strange numbing sensation on the tongue (and not from the spiciness)
