Pour out the turbid water and pour fresh water again.

Repeat these steps a few times, until you see that the water is clear enough. Now pour out all the water out of the bowl / saucepan. Put the rice into colander and let it stay for about two minutes.

Put rice into the saucepan and add two and half cups of water. So basically it is two cups of rice on two and 1/2 cups of water or for 500 ml of rice you will need about 650 ml of water.

You may also use a cup of rice for one cup of water formula. However, when you cook and feel that the rice is burning add more water (add only hot water from electric boiler). Just don’t put too much water, otherwise the rice will be very watery and will look like a pap.

Put the saucepan on the gas-stove and make sure you use a tight fitting lid. It is great if your lid is made out of glass. This way you can watch all the process and adjust the heat.
