Ingredients
- 1 Cup brown rice any variety, I use Goan brown rice in the pictures
- water to rinse
- 3 Cups water to soak and boil
- salt optional to season
Instructions
- Place rice into a pot and cover with water. Mix with your clean hand and rinse the rice 2-3 times with fresh water until the water comes back kind of clear.
- Pour water over the rice and close the pot with a lid. Leave to soak for 2-3 hours or overnight. This will shorten the boiling process and the rice will be easier to digest.
- Take the rice with water to the heat and keep it over a medium to slow heat setting. Season with salt (optional).
- Boil rice until soft or until you are satisfied with the consistency and or water quantity. You can simmer it further to reduce the water. Yet, this dish is meant to be more on the watery side. This can take 20-40minutes.
- Serve up.
