Rice
For cooking Kamfirozi rice, you can use two methods: draining and cooking, and below we have taught both methods in brief:
Baking Camfiroz Rice by Drainage Method
First, we wash the rice with lukewarm water several times without holding too much until the rice water becomes clear, and then we completely empty the rice water.
We soak the rice in water and salt for 2-3 hours so that the water level is about four centimeters higher than the rice level and the amount of salt is half a tablespoon of salt for each cup of rice.
We heat a suitable pot and let it boil, then empty the rice salt water and pour the rice into the boiling water and let the rice boil.
Then we stir slowly once or twice and wait for a few moments until the rice kernels soften a little so that when we crush the rice grains in our hands, the kernels are not rough and dry, then we pour the rice in a colander to drain the water.
Pour the rice from the colander into the pot and make a cone around it.
We wrap the lid of the pot with a cotton cloth or a clean towel and place it on the pot and then put the pot on the stove with a low flame to let it simmer.
