Preparing Rice (White Rice)

From the begining I thought of posting some recipes which are helpful for bachelors or beginers. Here is the 1st recipe which is very basic and very important. Making rice is very very simple which we do daily. Initially you have to follow the measurements.

All you need : A electric rice cooker or an Indian rice cooker or broad vessel/ bowl

Serves: 2 people

Ingredients:

Rice- 3 cups

Water- 6 cups

Method:

1. Wash and rinse the rice 2 to 3 times by changing the water.

2. Drain all the water.

3. Put the rice in a electric rice cooker, add double the quantity of water that means if you take 1 cup of rice then add 2 cups of water, then close the lid and set the option as cook in electric rice cooker. Once the rice is cooked the option automatically gets changed to warm. Then you can serve the rice with any curry or sambar or whatever.

4. If you want to cook the rice in Indian rice cooker, follow the same procedure as step3, put a weight on top it means put a vissle to the cooker lid and turn on the stove, once the rice is done, switch off the stove after 3 vissles and wait till the pressure leaves. After that remove the lid and serve hot.

5. You can also cook the rice separately in a bowl or vessel by following the same process as step3 but add 1/2 cup of extra water, stir in bewteen for 2 times and then allow it to cook. If the rice seems to be done, just take 1 rice grain and press with fingers. If it is soft and mashes immediately then its done otherwise allow it to cook for some more time.

That's it. Rice is prepared. Now its ready to be served.

Have a happy meal........Bye
