Why eat it?

The sticky rice recipe is easy to emulate in a modern kitchen too. It can be eaten as a cereal, meal, in sushi or as a dessert. If you haven’t tasted this rice yet, there’s a lot you’ve missed.

Cooking tips:
Sticky rice cooks best in steam and not in water. For this method, soak the rice at room temperature for at least 4 hours. Then, cook it in steam, like you do for idli’s dhoklas’s etc. A bamboo steamer or any rack steamer works for this along with a muslim cloth. Steaming time is nearly 20-30 mins.
