One of the easiest and most reliable ways to always get soft, fluffy, perfectly cooked white rice is to use a rice cooker. With this method, all you have to do is clean the rice, add the right amount of water, and let the rice cooker do the rest. This method is great for busy kitchens because it doesn't need to be watched all the time. When made in a rice cooker, rice always turns out the same way, whether it's a side dish for curries, stir-fries, or dals.
Ingredients & Notes
You just need 2 ingredients: White Rice and Water.
I use sona massori rice for daily consumption. For the rice cooker method, best result is 1:2 ratio. 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water.
1 cup of white rice yields 500g of cooked rice.
