[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hispanic here which means rice is made quite a bit.

And folks, you gotta toast the rice first before adding water!  [/quote]

Ha! Also Hispanic. Lots of rice here. Lots of toasting. And with salt and garlic! The best.[/quote]
I am intrigued! Do you use oil or just dry roast the rice?
(I only know how to make Asian style rice.) [/quote]

A little oil and the rice.[/quote]

Indian here. I toast rice in oil for some recipes of rice pulao.  Also depends on what variety of rice I am using.

This is the first rice pulao I learnt to make when I was 14 yrs old, and it tastes pretty great.  I would not use Basmati with this dish but Sona Masoori or any normal long grained rice.

In a pot, put two tsp of ghee, and toast  cumin seeds, whole black peppers, cinnamon stick. Add thinly sliced onions and brown. Add rice, salt and a pinch of turmeric and toast some more, till the rice is properly coated and puffing a bit. Add hot water and cook till done. I sometimes added peas and chopped carrots too. But it tastes divine with just the onions. [/quote]
