Rice dishes from the Surinam cuisine

There are many ways to prepare these; Indonesian, West Indian, Creole and Chinese.
Fried rice is cooked somewhat drier than normal.
For lonton dishes (Indonesian), soft-boiled rice is needed.
Often rice is cooked or steamed with certain leaves. These give a special flavor and/or smell to the dish.
