I met my husband when we both lived in Greece, a country where anything can turn into a party at any moment, lovely.<BR/>That is sort of how I try to do my rice but I think I know, from reading yours, what I do wrong. I cant leave it alone. I check and poke & prod, and check some more.<BR/>Good thing is that OH has made (another) curry & burghal. <BR/>I will try to impress them at the weekend when he is too busy to cook for us. Thanks for your help<BR/>LizzieLizzie @ her homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257339462096688164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300931931586155886.post-27683356260659808082008-09-10T08:53:00.000+01:002008-09-10T08:53:00.000+01:00H Lizzie, I'm the same fighting routines, I hate i...H Lizzie, I'm the same fighting routines, I hate it when things stay the same for too long, I go stagnant!<BR/>I love the feeling of thinking that anything can be done at any time, that's why I love the 'manyana' (spelling?) attitude of India. There's no set times or dates, just turn up, no weekends, it's keeps you on your toes and you never know when there might be something to get excited about!<BR/><BR/>I can help you with rice... always use basmati, never wash the rice, 1 cup of rice is enough for 2 adults. Add 2 cups of cold water and bring to the boil with a lid on. Boil vigorously for 5 minutes and then turn off the heat. Don't take the lid off. Rice will be ready in about 10 minutes but you can leave it there for hours and it will be perfect...<BR/><BR/>Good luck and I hope you manage to impress your family!emmanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210606593812739748noreply@blogger.com
