Chookie's Rice - absorption method

[achookwoman]

HELP ,    I don't know where to post this recipe.   It is "Fluffy Rice",  not cooked in the basket ,  and not wet like risotto. It is light, single grain rice like in Chinese or Indian rice.  It is very simple, so maybe it is  posted somewhere else.

250g of rice weighed into bowl
Pour 480g(weighed into bowl) of BOILING water over rice.
Cook 4-5 mins,on Varoma temp.,  , that is until water boils.
Turn off and cover top with a tea towel.  Leave for 25 mins.
Fluff with fork

I haven't experimented with quantities,  but I think you could probably double the amount of rice and water.
It would also be suitable for Indian recipes where you cook onion, garlic and ginger in oil,  you could then add the rice and continue with the recipe.
I think it also would be possible to tip the rice, once it has boiled,  into the serving dish  (heated with boiling water).   This would then free up the bowl for other uses.

Good to hear that you're better TMxer.

That's a great idea chookie. I often wondered how I would make the Indian style rice where you fry spices etc in ghee and add the rice.

Just cook whatever spices, ginger garlic and onion as usual,  in bowl.  Tip in rice and proceed as instructions.  couldn't be easier.   The stirring, while reaching boil,  will stir the spices through.  Meganjane,   hope this is clear

[meganjane]

Yep, sure is!

If you need your  in  a hurry, just transfer rice to Thermoserve Bowl.

MJ,  good tip,  I would warm the server first with boiling water,  like i do for risotto.
