Coconut rice represents the intersection of technique and flavor in Indian cooking. The tempering of mustard and cumin seeds in hot oil releases their volatile aromatics, which then permeate the rice as it cooks.

The final resting period is crucial, steam completes the cooking while the flavors meld. This rice should taste aromatic with individual grains remaining separate.
