How to Use Heer Extra Long Basmati Rice
Basic Cooking Method (Absorption Method)
-
Rinse: Wash 1 cup of Heer Extra Long Basmati Rice under cold running water 2-3 times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness.
-
Soak (Optional): Soak the rinsed rice in water for 20-30 minutes. This helps the grains elongate better and cook more evenly. Drain before cooking.
-
Measure water: Use a 1:1.5 to 1:2 ratio (1 cup rice to 1.5-2 cups water, depending on desired texture).
-
Cook: Bring water to a boil in a pot, add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 12-15 minutes.
-
Rest: Turn off the heat and let the rice rest covered for 5 minutes. This allows the grains to firm up.
-
Fluff: Gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains.
For Biryani
- Rinse and soak rice for 30 minutes, then drain.
- Boil water in a large pot with whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom) and salt.
- Add the soaked rice and cook until 70% done (grains should still have a slight bite).
- Drain immediately and layer with your prepared curry or meat mixture.
- Cook on low heat (dum) for 20-25 minutes to complete the cooking process.
