Tags : Boiled rice or pressure cooked rice?
hi gals,
i have a doubt which rice is good to eat ,boiled rice or pressure cooker rice.whisch is healthy.becos my MIL whenever she comes here boil rice in a big vessel ,she blames me when i cook in pressure that its not healthy one and increases sugar level.
u must by now guessed whom my hubby supports.
i find pressure cooker easy becos it takes just 20 min ,while the bolied takes 40min in morning hurry.
now u gals clear my doubt.
boiled rice is the best...
but hardly anyone uses this practice now... even i use pressure cooked rice... as its easy to cook and quicker...and i am scared of straining process.. as once i had poured it in my legs... so i thought its better to avoid...
but dont worry.. this is not the only way to stay healthy... there are many other things to stay healthy like reducing oil, eating more cereals, reduced usage of sugar and salt, indha madri neriya...you can follow all these..
Boiled rice is the best... But as everyone said.. it is not suitable for hurry cooking...
Boiled rice is best and still I do it...pressure cooked only when in emergency..or some guests arrive without notice..I prefer it...Moreover I dont like pressure cooked rice as the kanji will remain in that itself..where as in boiled rice we can strain it out la...
Hi Cherry smile.. I don't know whether Boiling rice is good or the pressure cooked one. But to me personally I don't like the smell and the texture of rice when it is done in Pressure cooker.
At my home I only Boil rice in a Vessel. Please note it iwll not take much time. Before Boiling soak the rice in water for 5 minutes. Boil the water nicely. THen put the rice. After 5 minutes you can actually take the vessel off the Stove and leave it aside with a closed lid. The rice will get boiled in the existing hot water itself. mean while you can use the stove for doing some other dishes also. Then later after 10 minutes you can again keep the Rice Vessel in the stove for another 5 minutes. This will do. By this you can actually save on time and Gas.
I have said the above timing for a quantity of people of 2. with Ponni Puzhungal Arisi.
I occasionaly pressure cook when I have to cook only for my husband(he is used to pressure cooked at his mother's place)
Boilded rice is best as it stays fresh for long time without verachifying like pressure cooked rice.
cooking boiled rice is an age old style.But it is best for diabetic patient.What about cooking electric rice cooker.it filters the kanji
