How to Use HEER SONA MASOORI RICE for Best Results
Basic Cooking Instructions
-
Rinse: Measure the desired amount of rice (1 cup serves 2-3 people). Rinse thoroughly under cold running water 2-3 times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures fluffy, separated grains.
-
Soak (Optional): For best results, soak the rinsed rice in water for 15-20 minutes. 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.
-
Cook: Bring 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 15-18 minutes.
-
Rest: Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the grains to firm up and achieve perfect texture.
-
Fluff: Gently fluff with a fork before serving to separate the grains.
Cooking Methods
Stovetop Method: Traditional and most common method as described above.
Rice Cooker: Use the same 1:2 rice-to-water ratio. Simply add rinsed rice and water to the rice cooker and select the white rice setting.
Pressure Cooker: Use 1:1.5 ratio (1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water). Cook for 2 whistles on medium heat, then let pressure release naturally.
Instant Pot: Use 1:1.25 ratio. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes, followed by 10 minutes natural release.
