Cooking rice is a fundamental culinary skill that can be mastered by anyone, and it's a staple in many cuisines worldwide. Here's a simple guide to cooking perfect rice every time.
Choose the Right Rice: There are various types of rice, such as long-grain, short-grain, basmati, and jasmine. Select the one that suits your dish.
Rinse the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
Proper Measurements: Use the right ratio of water to rice. Typically, it's 1:2 (one cup of rice to two cups of water). Adjust for different types of rice. Bombay Sweets & Co. Ltd.
