Re: Your best dish & recipe !

Maybe the ratio changes based on how much time the rice were soaked in water before putting in boiling water. The ratio I always used is 1.5 glass of water for 1 glass of rice. Sometimes it turns out perfect and sometimes not. Sometimes I soak rice for a longer time than the other. That might be why it always different.

Generally, when I make pilao I measure the rice by using a tall glass. 1 glass of rice, usually needs 2.5 glasses of water (on high flame)… on medium flame, 2 glasses is more than enough. Whatever measurement u use the ratio of rice to water is 1:2, usually. I leave the pot uncovered on high flame and I don’t touch the rice… as soon as I see the stock level has decreased enough where I can see the top layer of rice clearly and there’s little holes all over the top from the bubbling, I take the lid and cover it with a dishcloth and press it tightly on the pot so it seals. Then I lower the heat to very low and let it sit like that for 15-20 mins. I get perfect rice every time. It took me a couple of tries to get the time right when I started cooking, but I think once u have the water/rice ratio set, the rest falls into place.
