Hi
You recipes are so good
i have a very big doubt..is it possible for u to explain how to cook basmati rice...its not coming properly it will be better if u tel me step by step
Thanks in advance Reply :- I usally wash and soak the rice for about 10 minutes. Then add water in the ratio 1:1.5 i.e 1.5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice and cook it on stove top or rice cooker. When making pulao or biriyani, you can also fry the rice in some ghee or oil before cooking. This will ensure that the grains of rice are seperate. |

is it compolsary to soak the rice
Reply :- Hi Gunjan. Its not compulsory to soak the rice. But soaking improves the texture of the final pulao. |
Comment by lakshmi sowjanya hi, can coconut milk be optional?if yes what is the substitute of that? Reply :- Yes. Coconut milk can be skipped. In that case use only water to cook the rice. Use 1 1/2 cups water for 1 cup of rice. |
Comment by Savitha Harish what would be apt veggie side dish for this? no non veg. Reply :- This goes well with any sidedishes. I usually make it with gobhi manchurian. |
