OK, pretty basic question really but sometimes my palau ends up either a bit too ‘mushy’ cos I’ve put in too much water or too ‘dry’ cos there was not enough moist?
What is the general rule? Is it like for 2 cups you need 3 cups of water?
Am making palau this afternoon for dinner so help is needed guys, thanks!
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
if you are making 2 cups of rice then put 4 cups of water in it........ just double the quantity of water........ thats what i do........
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
Double the water. Soak rice for only half hour.
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
Double the volume of water to the amount of rice.
2 cups rice = 4 cups water
3 cups rice = 6 cups water and so on...
Remember to measure the water/rice in the same cup for both measurements!
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
i dont double it.....what i do is that if say u have 1 cup rice=1 cup water+1/2 cup(half of 1)
lets say if u have 2 cups,
add 2 cups water+1 cup(half of 2 cups rice)
similarly for 3 cups rice,add
3 cups water+1.5 cup(half of 3 cups of rice)
My rice always come out perfect MA!
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
Thanks for that guys!
I eventually used 3 cups water to 2 cups rice and it came out nice and soft and didn't stick together like it sometimes does!
I will try your idea Angel Eyess but thanks to the others too.

Whatever happened to the traditional way of measuring with ure index finger, letting the first line on the finger be the water level guide.... There is no otjerreason why god put that line thwre :d

That's how I cook rice ...:).Since my nani taught me the basics,I've always done it this way.
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
Ladies can you share the index finger tip
Re: Chicken Palau - How many cups of water do I use?
Add water to the rice and measure by putting in ure index finger....water should reach up to the first line on the fingertip. They say its the perfect way to measure water when cooking rice....
It works every time like a charm. :d

I do exactly the same. Doubling the water will make them too mushy in my opinion. It also depends which brand rice you use. The better quality rice like tilda or pearl tends to need less water. Also try to boil on fairly high heat so the water evaporation doesnt take too long and then put on the slowest heat for 'dumm'.
