sticky rice 

cooked sticky rice 

Sticky rice or bora saul is a part of  Assamese cuisine.  Sticky rice is basically used in making different snacks (pithas)  during Bihu festivities. I like to eat sticky rice in breakfast.  Sticky rice is served with milk, cream, yogurt and jaggery. But I like to eat sticky rice with vegetables (Sabji).

Cooking sticky rice is very easy.  I used to cook sticky rice in pressure cooker.  No need to soak for hours. Here is the step by step procedure of making sticky rice.


INGREDIENTS :

  •  2 cups of sticky rice
  •  2 cups of water
  •  1 tbsp cooking oil


METHOD:

Step1 : Take two cups of sticky rice in a large bowl.



Step 2 : Rinse sticky rice under running water.


Step  3 : In a pressure cooker pan  pour the sticky rice.  Add 2 cups of water.


Step 4 : Add 1 tbsp cooking oil.


Step 5 : Close the lid of the cooker. In law heat cook for 1 whistle.


Step 6 : Remove from heat.  Let the cooker open itself.


Step 7 : Now the sticky rice is ready to serve.
