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.

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.
