Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Alright fine. Go learn to make the dough. Which we call ata. One of these days if I can get my cam to work I'll post some dishes along with their recipes. Fg tau jal he jaye gha. Poor kiddo cant make rotiyan.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Someone who can't get a minor thing (cam) to function would not do too well with something as artisitic as cooking. Leave it to the experts, kiddo.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Since when was using electornics the same as cooking? Plus its my darn camera not me. I cant be bothered to get a new one.
Cooking is rarely artistic - plus since when did you become an expert. Poore ka poora tael ka gallon salan main daal dete ho. I will gladly leave the kitchen cleaning up to you, ubb thread ki sateyanaas na karo tusi.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
I have to hire a bull-dozer crew to clean after you in the kitchen. Do us and your family a favor and please stay away from that area.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
My kitchen is sparkly clean. And unlike you, when I cook my kitchen remains that way- unlike yours which looks like a hurricane hit!
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
OK. Sunds good. You can do all the cooking while your significant other can rest his butt on the couch and play remote remote.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
hey leave my significant other out of this! Plus Im not in love with cooking - you are. So the above scenario will apply very much to you.
sarah--- kick fg for derailing the thread!
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
don't worry about sarah. She already got her answer (first from ME and then a repeat from YOU).
Oh I would love to cook for my significant other while she watches Judge Judy and files her nails, plucks eyebrows and puts some funky colored nail polish on her toes.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Oh well next time I'll go through the entire thread. Although now that I have, your answer was a bit confusing.
Alright no need to get descriptive with your significant other! We're discussing rice!
Sarah--- This way the rice wont be soggy. but at times this much water isnt enough. So you test the rice, if its not soft enough ,then just before you cover it with a wet dish cloth, sprinkle some water on the rice, then cover.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
yeah I know it was confusing for someone whose favorite subject wasn't Math.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
It obviously came from someone whose favourite subject wasnt English. Btw I enjoyed my many math classes even though at times I wished to burn the books.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Maniac, you know this is one dish which I love so much that I told my mom to teach me how to cook so I can cook it whenever I feel like eating it. But you know eachtime, some new taste comes up but still they look like “Mattar Palao” 
Actually, I dont even remember what my mom told me how to cook it but I boil 1 big or two medium sized onions then put oil and fry them. Then put alot of things like… zeera, cloves, black corns, etc. etc. etc. (but not alot). Fry them all together. Then put mashed tomatoes (2 medium)… or tomatoe paste.. oh yeah… just a little crushed garlic and ginger also… but very very little or you’d spoil the taste. In the end, add mattar. Fry them with all this masala. Then add green chillies, salt. Then check when they are cooked, add water (For one big mug of rice, add 2 mugs of water)… Boil them until the water has evaporated. That’s it.
You know when I cooked this dish for the first time, I added sugar instead of salt. It was a funny taste. It took me too long to realise why it tasted funny.
Now mostly I can cook it well but sometimes I mess up.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
:love:
Hey but I dont pluck my eyebrows 
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
I’ll pluck 'em for you. 
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
So, you dont have a significant other whose eyebrows you can pluck?
I dont pluck mine cz I dont need to 
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Do I have to have a significant other to pluck?
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Wait a minute… what is it that we are talking of plucking here 
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
:raised eyebrows:
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
Gotta go get some sleep… Gotta travel tomorrow.
Re: Why does the rice always turn out so soggy?
I duno if this is gonna help but using your sense of smell helps telling if the rice is cooked or not. When its cooked the rice gives off this nice bheeni bheeni khushboo of starch.
Same for pasta too.
2 cups of rice, regardless of any amount of water takes ten minutes to cook on a gas ka stove. After ten minutes just pick out a grain and put it in your mouth, If its soft its cooked if its hard then its not.
