I'm Sumana Rao from ca, US. I
learnt from my husband, NV Rao, the easiest way of cooking rice. We've
9 months old twins named Anvitha and Anirudh. I thought of sharing
this as most of our guests liked and asked the way we cook rice though
it's farely simple.

Rice in Microwave
Ingredients
Use Basmathi or Jasmine rice
Use Cornware (A Glass Vessel)
Method
- First wash the rice.
- Add water 1:2 ratio if using 2-4 cups of rice. If you use more
rice then lessen the water a little bit ie. 14 cups of water for 8
cups of Basmathi rice or use only 13 cups water for Jasmine rice.
You'll know this from experience. Jasmine needs less water than Basmathi as
Basmathi is Aged rice as Jasmine is not.
Also, use less water for Pulihora/Lemom/Fried Rice.
- Let it stay for 10mnts if possible. DO NOT forget to use Plastic
vessel. The rice cooked in this will be extremely good.
- Put it in microwave and time it depending on the quantity. Rice will be
done completely when the rice pops up a little bit on the top/surface. After
the microwave stops, check the rice immediately
and if it's not done then time it again.
- Approximate timings. Varies depending on the microwavve power.
1 cup rice - 2 cups water - 15 to 18 mnts.
2 cups rice - 4 cups water - about 20 mnts.
3 cups rice - 6 cups water - 22 to 23 mnts
4 cups rice - 7 cups water - about 25 mnts
5 cups rice - 9 cups water - about 26 mnts
6 cups rice - 11 cups water - 27 - 28 mnts
For Rice and Vegetables Pulav, simply add mixed vegetables to the
rice and water mixture and put some Ghee/butter/Oil along with a pinch of
safron.
