It is rendered fluffy and can be consumed just after soaking in water for few minutes. Kumol Saul is made from Bora Saul (Sticky rice) by soaking over night and then boiling and sun-drying.

Kumol Saul pulao is a simple recipe which I experimented last Sunday and it turned out really good. As kumol saul is prepared from sticky rice, this dish become sticky to some degree after cooking. So serve it hot immediately after cooking. Because once it cools the stickiness will increase and it will taste bad. Serve with a hot cup of tea for better taste.
