Recipe#18 PLAIN RICE

Hi friends
Rice is the staple food in south Indian cuisine. North Indian cuisine also has plain rice as its integral part.

For making plain rice in pressure cooker:

• Take 1 cup of rice 
• Clean it twice with water
• For Raw rice(old/aged), add 2.5cups of water
• For Raw rice (new), add 2 cups of water
• For parboiled rice (old), add 3.5cups of water
• For parboiled rice (new), add 3cups of water
• For Basmati rice, soak the rice in 2cups of water for half an hour before cooking
• Pour 2glasses of water in the pressure cooker 
• Place the vessel with the rice and water
• Cook in the pressure cooker for 1 whistle followed by 10mins in medium flame

For making rice in electric rice cooker:

• Follow the same ratio of water to rice as mentioned above
• You can cook rice directly in the pan provided with the electric rice cooker
• Switch on the cooker to "cook" mode
• It will automatically switch over to "keep-warm" mode, once it is done

My mom’s tip:

When you cook rice for "naivedyam/prasadam" (holy offering to god), use Raw rice only and not parboiled rice.
