Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Wash and rinse the rice thoroughly at first. Later soak in enough clean drinking water for a good 30 minutes at least. It's a must to soak it beforehand for fluffy and well cooked rice.
2

500 grams of rice is nearly equal to 2 cups. Water and rice ratio to be maintained is 5:2. This requires a bit more of water for that perfect results. After soaking, use 2 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. But if you have soaked it for an hour. Then reduce the amount of water to 2.
3

Cover and cook rice until done. Don't peek every now and then. The steam might escape and the results won't be good enough. Cook for the next 15-18 minutes or so. Drain it well. Keep it back on the stovetop again for about 4-5 minutes on a low heat. It would be done perfectly. Do not forget to cover it.
4

Fluff it up after done. Serve it piping hot right away with your favourite curry or gravy. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
