Steps

1

Wash the rice till the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for atleast 15 minutes.
2

Cook the rice till done but not mushy.

When the rice cools, sprinkle salt, lemon juice and 1 tsp oil evenly over the rice and mix it well. This helps to keep the rice grainy.

Keep the rice covered for 10 to 15 minutes.
