Tips

  • •Always rinse your rice very well. This removes all debris as well as excess starch.
  • •Fill two buckets with cold water while your rice is cooking. Use this water to rinse and cool down the rice once ready.
  • •Refrigerate your rice immediately once it has been batched to preserve freshness.
  • •Always label and date your prepared rice.

Notes

  • •This recipe can be doubled during busy periods. 10kg uncooked basmati will yield approximately 24kg of cooked rice.
  • •For a 10kg batch you will need a 50Ltr stock pot.
