Notes

How to cook perfect and non sticky rice?
Soak Basmati rice in water for 30 mins, then drain it and remove all water. Take a bottom vessel and boil  around 2 litres of water add some salt and 1 tbsp Oil.
Keep it on a high flame and let it boil, Once it starts boiling add the soaked rice, Cook the rice on high flame for 10-12 mins and do not stir the rice as it may break.
Check the rice after 10 mins, if you can break the rice with your fingers that means its cooked.
Drain it in a strainer and keep it aside.
