TO COOK THE RICE:

I've tried two method to cook the rice - By microwave and on the electrical stove. 

Cooking by microwave is more convenient compared to pot and the rice does not stick on the pot's bottom.  

Cooking with Microwave:

Wash and drain the rice. Add in water, coconut milk and other ingredients into the bowl. Cook on high power for 29 minutes. 

Cooking on Electrical stove:

Wash and drain the rice. Add in water, coconut milk and other ingredients into the pot. Cook on low heat until the water dries up. 

The final product will look like these:-
