Rice, the staple food of India, is included in almost every diet of every household.A very good pot of rice has the ability to transform a humble dinner of vegetables into a venerable feast.
Cooking Rice on a stove:
All we need is a Cup of Rice, a pot and a stove top. Mainly there are three main types of Rices- Long grain white rice,Brown rice and aromatic rices Like Jasmine and basmati.
Step one: Rinse And soak
The rinsing removes loose Starch, making the rice less sticky. If older ice is used, soak it for about 30 minutes, which makes the grains less brittle And prone to breakage.
For long- grain White Rice: Here, the rise simmers in water until completely absorbed. The simmer- and- steam method is best suited for long grain White Rice. Slide the pot off the heat to steam, and with a quick fluff of your fork, the rice is ready.
For Brown Rice: Bring a pot of water to boil and stir in the rice. Fish out a grain or two every so often and take a taste. Once the rice is tender and chewy , drain, return the rice to the pot and steam.
For basmati or Jasmine Rice: Toast the rice in butter and then pour in boiling water.Cook until the water is gone, then steam off the heat for distinct grains of rice, that are full of toasty flavour.
Step 2: Boil the water in a small saucepan.
Bring 1 ½ cups water to a boil in a covered small sauce pan over high heat.
Step 3. Add the rice, salt and butter.
Stir in the rice ,salt and butter or oil, if using.
Step 4: Cover and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes.
Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the water is absorbed.
Step 5: Rest the rice off the heat and then Fluff.
Remove from the heat and let the saucepan stand covered for 10 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork and serve.
