Read Notes.
Cooking the porridge (A, B, C) - In a big pot, combine A (soaked rice), B (minced meat or chicken) and C (seasonings and spices) with enough water to cook the rice through and until the grains break. Cook on high and bring to a boil. Leave it boiling until the rice breaks.
Once the rice is cooked through and the grains break, turn heat to low and simmer/slow cook. In the meantime, saut finely chopped brown onion in 2-3 tbsp of cooking oil until translucent. Add sauted brown onion to the porridge. Stir and Leave porridge to simmer until it turns creamy and starchy. Stir every now and then. Add water little by little if needed until you have the right creamy consistency.
Add coconut milk few minutes before turning off the heat. Stir and leave to simmer and porridge is well combined. Turn off the heat. Dish up and serve warm. Garnishing is optional.
