SONA MASURI RICE COOKING

 Hello...

Had to make this post ASAP in order to support my previous post of LEMON RICE...

Speaking of regular rice cooking the measurement goes by 1:2 where for every 1 cup of rice you would need 2 cups of water to pressure cook it with 2-3 whistles depending on the quality of the rice used...

There is this kinda of SONA MASURI rice I get here in Ranchi which is elegant in its fragrance as well as the texture when rightly cooked...

So let's cook this rice my way here....

Ingredients :

Rice - 1 cup sona masuri (small grained)

Water - 1 1/2 cups

Flame - High

Whistle - 1

Method :

 Wash the rice well (2-3 times) until the starch goes away....

Now empty it into the pressure cooker & add the water... 

ALWAYS REMEMBER -  The water must be above the rice by the first segment of your fore finger.. That is the ideal measurement for cooking rice...

                                

Cover the lid with the whistle & leave the flame on high... As the pressure builds be cautious to be around... soon as the first whistle blows turn off the flame & leave the cooker as is for the pressure to release naturally....

Once done open the lid & be careful to not allow the water in the lid to flow into your cooked rice... You would be happy to see the grainy rice...

Either use it for your rice preps or savor it with side dishes.... 

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
