In Thai royal cuisine, Thai coconut rice is traditionally served alongside curries like green curry or red curry, as well as papaya salad. The rice is infused with butterfly pea water, giving it a stunning blue hue that transforms into a beautiful purple when lime juice is added. For this dish, we’ve kept the blue color to preserve its striking appearance. With a savory profile, this coconut rice offers a unique depth of flavor that perfectly complements the dishes it accompanies. Create your own special meal by adding grilled chicken, baked fish, or crispy tofu. It’s sure to elevate any meal into a royal experience!
