In a skillet heat coconut cream, made from 1 coconut, with 1 tbsp brown sugar over moderate heat until the oil separates from the grainy, golden residue
Stir the mixture occasionally
Put 2 cups rice in a heavy saucepan, add the coconut mixture, & stir the rice until the grains are well coated with the oil
Stir in 1/2 lb raisins, 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, & salt to taste
Bring the mixture to a boil & cook the rice, covered, over very low heat until it is dry & fluffy
Coconut Milk
Pour 1 cup scalded milk over grated coconut & let it st& for 20 min
Drain the mixture through a damp cheesecloth, squeezing it to get out all possible liquid
Coconut Cream
Let coconut milk st& for several hrs & skim off the cream as it rises to the surface
The remaining watery milk can be used as coconut milk, although it is less rich in flavor
