Ingredients:
3 cups of basmati rice
1 can of coconut milk
4 cloves garlic
2 Thai chilis, seeds removed
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
a small knob of ginger, crushed
a handful of cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
a handful of black peppercorns
a handful of pine nuts
some lime juice
salt, pepper, oil

1. In a large skillet with hot oil, sauté garlic until light brown and cook onions until translucent. Toast the pine nuts with the cloves for a minute or two. Add chilis, ginger and peppercorns. Stir until fragrant.
2. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.
