Hi guys welcome back to my cookingvlog, this week I had 2 mini chefs presents in my kitchen and they requested for coconut rice.

I have no option than to prepare the coconut rice for them with a promise that they are going to help me in the kitchen to get the ingredients ready. They accepted so they put on their apron and started work.

I delegated duty for everyone and was there to monitor them do it right.

I have a video that captured everything that was done in the kitchen because I needed to concentrate to help them so I set my camera and while we started working. So watch the video to have the full gist of how it went.

To begin the cooking steps let me first tell you the ingredients I used.

Ingredients

Ingredients	quantity	Amount in Naira	Steem
Coconut	3	1500	8
Rice	5 cups	1800	9
Crayfish	2g	1000	5
Pepper	1g	500	2.71
Onion	3psc	500	2.71
Fish	20pcs	2000	10
Seasoning cubes	to taste
Salt	to taste
Total	.	7300	34.42

To begin I created the coconut you will see it in the video then I added warm water to the coconut so I can get enough coconut juice to use and cook the rice. I drained the water out from the coconut chaff and it was ready for the rice

Then the kids help with chopping onions and pounding of pepper and crayfish for me while I got other things ready for the rice.

I used local rice so I washed it carefully to remove sand and parboiled the rice.

I used this dry fish, I selected the bone and washed it clean

It's time to add all the ingredients to the rice, I added fish

Added crayfish and pepper

Add seasoning cubes and onions, then add the coconut water to the rice and put the pot on fire to cook till the rice is soft.

Once the rice was ready, I dished it out to the plate then garnish it with cucumber for the kids.

They were so happy to help me cook their favourite rice for dinner.

My goal is to help people to eat healthy with low budget. You don't need to spend so much to eat healthy meal but the little you have you can always buy some ingredients that will be useful in your diet.

In the coconut rice, I use dry fish to cook it that does not mean that you cannot use chicken beef good meat or any other protein of your choice. So always improvise and think of what to use ingredients to use to make up a balanced diet.
