🍚 Tips for Flaky Rice from Al Ahlam Company

Get delicious and perfect rice with our practical steps:

⿡ Wash and Drain Thoroughly

Goal: Remove excess starch and obtain fluffy grains.

Wash rice until the water runs clear.

Drain rice completely before frying or cooking.

⿢ Balance Liquids

Goal: Control grain tenderness.

Use 1.5 cups of water or broth for every cup of rice.

This ratio is ideal for most long and medium-sized rice.

⿣ Use Hot Fat

Goal: Coat the grain and prevent it from sticking.

Heat butter, ghee, or oil before adding rice.

This ensures the rice absorbs the broth optimally.

⿤ Boil and Cover Immediately

Goal: Keep steam inside the pot.

When the water boils, reduce heat to low and cover the pot tightly.

Don't remove the cover for 15-20 minutes.

⿥ Soak Before Serving

Goal: To distribute moisture and achieve perfect flakiness.

Leave the rice covered for 5-10 minutes after turning off the heat before serving.
