How to Use India Gate Sona Masoori Rice for Best Results
Basic Cooking Instructions:
-
Rinse: Measure the desired quantity of rice and rinse it 2-3 times under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures fluffy, separate grains.
-
Soak (Optional): For even better results, soak the rinsed rice in water for 15-20 minutes before cooking. This reduces cooking time and improves texture.
-
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 - use less water for firmer grains or slightly more for softer rice.
-
Cooking Method: Bring water to a boil, add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until all water is absorbed.
-
Rest: Turn off the heat and let the rice rest covered for 5 minutes. This allows the grains to firm up and achieve the perfect texture.
-
Fluff and Serve: Gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and serve hot with your favorite curries, dals, or side dishes.
Pro Tips: For enhanced flavor, add a teaspoon of ghee or oil while cooking. For biryani or pulao, you can also add whole spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, or cardamom to the cooking water for aromatic rice.
