Directions printed on the pack: The water ratio printed on the pack applies (add butter or margarine and salt to taste, as the pack suggests). Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes.

A 10 lb bag is roughly 30 cups uncooked, around 90 servings. Directions printed on the pack: The pack ratio line reads: for 1 cup of rice add 2 1\/2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of margarine and a pinch of salt. Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Microwave: cover and cook on high for 8 minutes, stir, cook on the defrost setting for another 5 minutes, then leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing ideas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Parippu, mallung and a fish or chicken curry; lunch packets; or a simple plate with pol sambol and a fried egg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as.\u003c\/strong\u003e රෝස කැකුළු \/ ரோஸ கெக்குலு \/ சிவப்பு பச்சை அரிசி · rosa kekulu \/ red raw rice lite.
