Scrape half of the mixture into an oven proof dish (if you have one with a lid that fits tightly use this, if not use foil)
Scatter over half the rice and then half of the almonds and raisins
Put the rest of the vegetables on top and scatter over the rest of the rice, almonds and raisins. Top with the two bay leaves
Pour the vegetable stock and coconut milk into the pan in which the vegetables were cooked, khuấy đều và đun đến sôi
Pour over the rice and vegetables, put the lid on tightly or tightly wrap with foil. Bake for 55 đến 65 phút, until the rice is cooked and the liquid has mostly been absorbed. For the last 5 đến 10 minutes cook with the lid off so the top becomes golden and slightly crisp
