If it is not possible to cook crumbly rice, then the resulting dish cannot be called pilaf.
That is why housewives carefully choose the right cereal and prepare it in a special way to get the perfect result.
In order not to turn out porridge instead of pilaf, you should know some cooking secrets.
What mistakes are important to avoid:
1. Buying the wrong kind of rice.
It is not always possible to buy expensive cereals that are ideal for pilaf. But among budget varieties of rice, you can choose a decent option.
Choose rice that has an elongated shape. And round grains are best suited for porridge.
2. Ignoring flushing.
Almost all types of cereals cannot be prepared in the form in which you purchased them. When it comes to rice, water allows you to rid the cereal of excess starch.
Therefore, it is necessary to repeat the "water procedures" several times before cooking.
3. Absence of soaking.
Do not rush to cook pilaf. First, it needs to stand in a bowl of water for at least half an hour. If you always follow this rule, the pilaf will turn out perfect.
4. Mixing the pilaf.
Do not mix the ingredients together during cooking. You should not be afraid that they may burn: with the correct ratio and compliance with the production technology, the pilaf will turn out delicious.
If you start stirring, the rice will not turn out crumbly.
