Recipe - Burmese Coconut Rice

3 Three fourths cup Milk
1 pound Fresh Shredded Coconut
3 One half cup Long Grain Rice
3 md Onions, Grated
3 tablespoon Peanut Oil
One half teaspoon Salt
1 One fourth cup Extra Coconut Milk

Bring the milk to a boil and add the shredded coconut. Remove form the heat
and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour. Mix the rice and onions and fry
together in the heated oil for about 3 minutes. Add this mixture to the
milk and coconut and add the salt. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce
the heat, cover, and let simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, or until the
rice has absorbed all of the liquid. If the mixture becomes too dry before
the rice is soft, add a little of the extra coconut milk; heat the milk
before adding, but do not let it boil.
