HOW TO COOK BROWN RICE

Updated: Nov 24, 2023




Cuisine: South Indian







Method 1: Cooking in a pressure cooker

Unpolished raw Rice (Brown rice) – 1 cup

Water – 2 ½ cups

Wash and soak unpolished raw rice in water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain the water completely. In a pressure cooker, put soaked rice and 2 ½ cups of water. Pressure cook for 3 whistles on a high flame. Then simmer the flame and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off the flame and wait for the pressure to release completely before opening the cooker.


Method 2: Cooking in an open vessel

Unpolished Raw rice (Brown Rice) – 1 cup

Water – 2 ¾ cups


Wash and soak unpolished raw rice in water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain the water completely. In a heavy-bottomed vessel (preferably an earthen/clay vessel), put water and bring it to a boil. Now put the soaked rice into the boiling water. Cook on low flame until all the water has evaporated and the rice has cooked. Turn off the flame and cover the vessel with the lid. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.



Small details make a lot of difference:

Rice taste enhances when cooked completely in low heat.

Adjust the water proportionate according to individual preferences.
