  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon oil or ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Measuring spoons

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch.
  • Soaking the rice helps to soften the grains and make them fluffier.
