It's a relaxing and rewarding way to end a day and it doesn't have to be complicated. Steamed rice is a versatile staple dish of many different regional cuisines. It is the backbone of an Indian meal and fairly easy to make. You should not face any problem if you follow some basic steps. Part One Things You'll Need Course Main Course, Rice & Breads Cuisine American, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mexican Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Total Time 20 minutes Servings 4 Author Ranjeeta Nath Ghai Ingredients 1 cup dry basmati rice 2 tsp ghee/oil 2 cup water ? tsp salt 1 Saucepan with lid 1 Wooden spoon 1 Gas Stove 1 Measuring utensil Instructions How To Make The Steamed Rice On A Gas Stove 1. Use the right amount of water. use the ratio 1:2 i.e one cup rice : 2 cups water. 2. If you're serving more people than that you should increase the amount of rice and water accordingly. 3. Use a thick bottomed pan. 4. Add in some ghee. Put ghee, olive oil or any other oil of your choice into the pan. Add more if you are making a large amount of rice. 5. Add the rice. Turn the burner on medium and heat the oil slightly, and then add your rice to the pan. Stir it to make sure all the rice is well coated with oil. At this point, the rice will have a translucent look to it. 6. Cook or fry the rice in the oil just a bit longer if you want drier, crispier rice. 7. Keep stirring the rice while it heats. After a minute or so it will turn from translucent to a hard white colour. 8. Add the water and bring it to a boil. Add your water and give it a slight stir to make sure all the rice is in the water. Then stir occasionally until the water comes to a boil. 9. Lower the heat to extra low when the rice comes to a boil. The flame should go as low as you can go on a gas burner and then put a lid on the rice. You can put it on a thick bottom tawa to avoid burning of rice and ensure slow and even cooking. 10. Let it simmer, without removing the lid, for 15-20 minutes. Any longer than this and you're risking burning the bottom of the rice. Make sure you don't remove the lid! This point is very important because this is the "steaming" step. 11. Remove the rice from the heat. Turn the burner off completely after simmering. Set the pan aside with the lid on. It can sit like this until you are ready to use it, but let it continue to steam for at least 30 minutes. 12. Enjoy your steamed rice with dal tadka/butter chicken/fish/ sambhar/chole/kadhi or any other recipe of your choice.
- 2. 2/12/2019 Best Way To Cook Basmati Rice - Food All Time https://foodalltime.com/best-way-to-cook-basmati-rice/ 2/2 Tips My personal favourite is Devaya Basmati Rice. It suits all purpose… be it a party or day to day consumption. Best Way To Cook Basmati Rice is by soaking your rice in warm water before you cook it will greatly improve the texture of the final product and reduce cooking time too. Use the right amount of water. Remember that the measurement to making steamed rice is “one part rice, two parts water”. So, if you use a cup of dried white rice you should use two cups of water. One cup of dried rice is plenty to serve two people with a good appetite and four people who are small eaters. If you’re serving more people than that you should increase the amount of rice and water accordingly. Make sure the pan is big enough to accommodate the amount of rice and liquid you are using. As long as you keep the same proportions, you can use any liquid you’d like. Chicken/mutton broth is a good choice when cooking biryani. The beauty of cooking rice is that you can add or remove anything you want according to your own tastes. You can also add sautéed onions and peas with whole spices. The main thing to remember is that you need to add these at the beginning, right after you add the liquid to the sautéed rice. You can also cook it on a thick bottom tawa to avoid burning of rice and ensure slow and even cooking. Adjust the water to the rice. Long grain rice needs about 1 ? ?cups of water to every cup of rice. Brown rice will need at least 2 cups of water and likely more, but short-grained white rice will need less than the standard to get it perfect the first time. You should always adjust the water once short-grained rice cooks up. Warnings When you sautéed the rice with ghee/oil, you need to watch it carefully. At this point, it can burn very easily. If it seems to be starting to turn brown, the best way to stop the cooking process is to lift the pan off the burner. This is a simple process that is easy to remember and very effective.
