Instructions
 

  • Rinse the Rajmudi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and any impurities.
  • In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the rice to simmer gently.
  • Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and continue to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
  • Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the steam to further fluff the rice.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Enjoy Rajmudi rice plain or as a base for various dishes.
