Handy Tips:

1. If you are going to use rice as plain steam rice with curries or daals then add 1 tbsp ghee after boiling the rice.It will taste best.
2. If you are going to use rice in some kind of pulav then rinse rice with cold water after straining it from hot water.After rinsing it with cold water, rice will not have sticky texture and pulav will come out best with this rice.
3. If you are going to make pulav for some occasion or party then boil and keep rice one night before the party in the refrigerator.Then use it for making pulav.
4. If you will soak the rice an hour before boiling it,then it will cook fast.It will take very less time to boil.
