💡 Tips
• Use thin coconut milk so the rice isn't too heavy — use 1 packet of instant coconut milk plus water
• Turmeric powder is more practical than fresh turmeric and gives a more stable color
• The side dishes can be cooked the night before and stored in the fridge
• Keep the crackers separate in a ziplock bag so they stay crispy
