I've been saving this recipe for a long time since I love the flavor of coconut milk. The recipe turned out fine...light and fluffy yellow rice. But I was expecting a lot more coconut milk flavor and even the cinnamon was barely perceptible. Maybe it's because I used light coconut milk...but I was expecting more from this recipe. Not bad, just nothing to make it memorable.

This was super easy to make in the microwave. I kept the same water to coconut milk ratio, currants, and not having any cinnamon sticks threw a little ground cinnamon in with the rest of the ingredients and zapped it for 18 minutes. The currants plumped up beautifully. Very nice,and I'll make it again.
