    Wali wa Nazi (wali, cooked rice; nazi, coconut) is a Swahili dish popular on Africa's Indian ocean coast, particularly in Swahili areas like Zanzibar, Lamu, Malindi, and Mombasa. It is a creamy, rich accompaniment to any meat, chicken, fish, or curry.

    * two cups of rice, well-washed, rinsed, soaked in water for twenty minutes, and drained (basmati rice is especially favored)
    * four cups coconut milk, (two cups thick, two cups thin) home-made or canned, unsweetened (see below)
    * salt (to taste, approximately one teaspoon)

    # Bring the thin coconut milk to a near boil in a saucepan. Add the rice and salt. Cook for about ten minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to very low.


    # Stir in the thick coconut milk. Continue stirring for five minutes while the mixture simmers.


    # Cover tighly. Make sure the fire is as low as possible. Let steam for twenty to twenty-five minutes.
