Cooking tips:
• Rice to liquid ratio is important. Add water as per the variety of rice you are using.
• Use a tight-fitting lid to cover the pan. If the steam escapes from the lid then you have to add more water to cook rice.
• Do not stir the rice when it is simmering.
• Do not add lemon juice if tomatoes are sour.
