Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
In a large deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat the cooking oil over moderately high heat.Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.

Put the chicken in the pan and brown well on both sides, about 8 minutes in all.Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.Reduce the heat to moderately low.. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer.Stir in the coriander, cumin, rice, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.. Stir in the coconut milk and the water.
Add the chicken and bring to a simmer.This felt like an instance where there was no control.
It was so much bigger than all of us.It felt suffocating.
The world was ending around us and there was nothing we could do about it..I had this hopeless feeling, but I was walking my factory floor, looking at our fabrics, looking at our sewing machines, looking at the stacks of material everywhere.
