For 4 servings
Prepare the rice. Make sure the cooked rice is cooled down and each grain is separate. You can fluff it with a fork and spread it on a plate to cool faster.
Make the tempering.
Add the freshly grated coconut to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes on low heat until it becomes fragrant. Do not let it brown, as this will change the flavor.
Add the cooked rice and salt to the pan. Gently mix everything together until the tempering and coconut are evenly distributed through the rice. Be careful not to break the rice grains.
