- Wash the rice in water and drain it. Now roast the rice in ghee on low flame for 1-2 minutes. Keep sauting so that the rice doesn't turn brown.
- Now slowly add water and then bring it to a boil. Stir at intervals to see if the rice is cooked or not. Do not over cook it or the rice can become sticky. When the rice is boiled, strain it and let it cool. Spread the rice so that it doesn't look sticky.
