so you have to cook the rice twice? you didnt use saffron? is this rice the same as what they use at iranian restaurants?

[raven1960s]

I am not sure... this is a very inexpensive way of making rice , and yes U cook it twice

@rsoreo : This is not the exact way of cooking Persian rice ... she missed out on saffron the most vital and mandatory thing in Persian cooking ... the rice however is cooked twice but the timing is not correct... if you really cook basmati rice for one and half hour it will turn into a rice pudding !! the method is cook it till boil (max 6 mins) at the first time and then after washing it in cold water cook it again for 25 mins with a towel wrapped on the cover to seal all moisture ... done !!

The soaking process makes it separate hence using the salt. It gets rid of the starch that causes rice to stick. Basmati Rice is what is used in Persian restuarants but Persian rice is far superior due to the fact of Poliricks with Iran and America it is hard to find even at Persian grocery stores. Even in Iran people don't use saffron all the time that is for special occasions and what you see in the restaurants are usually Tumeric that gives the rice a safron like colour

what makes the rice become separated?
