For the best results, use a 1:2 rice-to-water ratio. While many prefer the pressure cooker for speed, cooking it in an open pot allows you to monitor the grain; once the water is absorbed, letting it rest covered for 10 minutes ensures the grains remain separate and \"khila-khila\" (fluffy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e Sona Masoori is the ultimate \"all-rounder\" for daily dining.
