For Biryani & Pulao

- Drain immediately and use in your biryani or pulao recipe
- The rice will finish cooking with the layered ingredients
For Fried Rice
- Cook rice using the basic method and spread on a tray to cool completely
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results

Pro Tips for Best Results
- Always rinse rice before cooking to remove surface starch and prevent clumping
- Soaking helps grains elongate more during cooking
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid for even cooking
- Avoid stirring rice while cooking to prevent breaking the grains
- Add a few drops of ghee or oil to the cooking water for extra fragrance and shine
