Method

Step 1 of 4

Pluck the cilantro leaves off the stalks; finely chop the stalks and reserve the leaves.

Step 2 of 4

Heat the oil and butter in a large deep frying pan over low heat. Add the shallots and chile and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, or until they start to turn golden. Then, stir in the curry paste and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 3 of 4

Add the rice, lime zest, and cilantro stalks. Stir for 1 minute, until the rice is well coated. Stir in the coconut milk, 1 3/4 cups water, and the salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle in the kaffir leaf and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Step 4 of 4

Stir the rice and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. If the liquid has been absorbed but the rice is still not tender, add a little more water. When ready to serve, stir in the scallions and sprinkle with the reserved cilantro leaves. Serve hot.
