Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Körülbelül 15 p
A szakács megjegyzése: Do not open the lid during this time to allow the rice to steam properly.
- 14
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pulao rest, still covered, for at least 10 minutes.
Körülbelül 10 p
A szakács megjegyzése: Resting allows the steam to redistribute, making the rice fluffy.
