   2      cups          long grain rice
   2      cups          coconut milk
   1      teaspoon      grated fresh ginger

   1 1/2  teaspoons     black mustard seed
   8                    dried red chilies

Soak 2 cups long grain rice in water, meanwhile boil 2 cups coconut milk +
1.5 cups water + 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger.  Drain and add the rice,
bring to a boil again, cover, turn off heat.

In separate pan, fry 4 tablespoons oil plus the mustard seeds until they
pop.  Then add 8 chopped dried red chilies, brown.  Add the sesame seeds and
brown lightly.

Pour the flavored oil and the salt over rice, toss in the flaked fresh
coconut (or dried unsweetened that's been soaked).
