Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Drain the rice thoroughly.

Dice the onion into small pieces.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, diced onion, coconut milk, water, ginger slices, curry powder, and salt.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

Cover the saucepan tightly.

Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Let the rice rest, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.

Remove ginger slices before serving.
