How to Use
Basic Cooking Instructions:
-
Rinse: Measure the desired quantity of Annam Brown Sona Masoori rice and rinse it 2-3 times under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and any impurities.
-
Soak (Optional but Recommended): Soak the rinsed rice in water for 20-30 minutes. This reduces cooking time and helps achieve a better texture.
-
Water Ratio: Use a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:3 (rice to water). For every cup of brown Sona Masoori rice, add 2.5 to 3 cups of water, depending on your preferred texture.
-
Cook: Bring the water to a boil, add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
-
Rest: Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the grains to firm up and achieve the perfect fluffy texture.
-
Fluff and Serve: Gently fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot with your favorite curries, dals, or vegetables.

-
Pressure Cooker Method: Use 1:2.5 ratio, cook for 3-4 whistles on medium heat, then let pressure release naturally
