Hi, interesting video, thanx for sharing. But I would like to know when we roast the rice, for how long and how we know it is ready to turn off the stove, is it ok if the rice is not fully roasted? how do we ensure is not over roasted till burnt
Yes we need to roast the rice. And you have to roast the rice, it becomes partially puffy. You have to constantly stir the rice so that it doesn’t get burned by roasting or by keeping it in one place.

Hi Nidhi,
Yes, that can also be done but then you have to grind it in mixer to make a paste, this also involves the same process but a lot more faster.
I'm from Puerto Rico and rice is one of our main dishes too. My 4 year old boy loves when I make rice I think is his favorite. I found your blog through Bloggy Moms and I would like to extend you an invitation to Busy Mom Monologues Blog of the Month. I hope to see you there!
