How to Use Heera Sona Masoori Rice for Best Results
Basic Cooking Instructions
Stovetop Method:
-
Rinse: Measure the desired amount of rice and rinse thoroughly under cold water 2-3 times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
-
Soak (Optional): For fluffier results, soak the rinsed rice in water for 15-20 minutes, then drain.
-
Water Ratio: Use a 1:2 ratio of rice to water (1 cup rice to 2 cups water). Adjust slightly based on your preferred texture.
-
Cook: Bring water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot, add the rice and a pinch of salt. Stir once, reduce heat to low, and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
-
Simmer: Cook for 15-18 minutes without lifting the lid. The rice is done when all water is absorbed and grains are tender.
-
Rest: Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
Rice Cooker Method
Rinse rice as described above, add to rice cooker with water in a 1:2 ratio, and cook according to your rice cooker's instructions. Most rice cookers will automatically switch to 'warm' mode when done.
Pro Tips for Perfect Results
- For biryani or pulao, reduce water slightly to 1:1.75 ratio for firmer, separate grains
- Add a teaspoon of ghee or oil to the cooking water for extra flavor and to prevent sticking
- For fried rice preparations, cook the rice a day ahead and refrigerate—cold rice works best
- Store uncooked rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Once opened, use within 6-8 months for optimal freshness
