Add the remaining vegetables(note any vegetable can be substituted)
Cover the pot and allow to cook until tender.
When the vegetables are soft add pigtail, seasonings, rice, coconut milk and water.
Mix well , cover and allow the rice to cook(About 15 minutes)
Check every 5 minutes by turning the ingredients and making sure there is enough water in the pot(note do not add an excessive amount of water, use just enough to cover the rice)
Keep under a medium flame and allow most of the excess liquid to be absorbed.
Check to see if the rice is tender and add salt and pepper if needed.
