Boiled/Steamed Rice

Rice is the canvas for creativity, so bid farewell to waiting and pot-watching and say hello to a world where perfect, fluffy rice is just a microwave away. In minutes, the kitchen will be perfumed with the delightful aroma of perfectly steamed or boiled rice, ready for Thayir sadam (curd rice), varan bhaat (lentil rice), biryani, or kheer (rice pudding).

Method

Wash 200 gm of rice in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Add water just 1.5 inches above the level of rice (salt is optional).
Turn the power level to high and set the timer for 22 minutes.
Serve hot once done.
