I get asked this question a lot by my non-Indian patients. Here is the traditional Ayurvedic way of cooking rice. Rice is a medicine in Ayurveda. It is the lightest food for digestion and also the first food mentioned in Ayurveda. But, how to cook it ? Here’s a step by step for y’all. Step 1: Soak rice for at least about an hour. I recommend Sona Masoori or Ambe Mohar varieties for everyday use. Step 2: Boil Water You can take twice or thrice the quantity of rice. Step 3: Add soaked rice to boiling water. Cook covered. Step 4: Cook till bubbles. Once it bubbles, remove the cover and cook rice until it turns soft. Step 5: Strain the excess water out. Enjoy with a side of daal and cooked vegetables.
