Tips

  • The rice is added in 3 parts: first half uncooked rice, then after 5 minutes some cooked rice and finally the rest of cooked rice.
  • The most important step is sealing the vessel tightly to avoid moisture during cooking. Burning coal is added on top to maintain high temperature and prevent moisture.
