2. Now wash rice thoroughly under running water until water runs clean.
3. When washed thoroughly, soak rice in water for 10 min if they are new. For older rice variety, soak for at least 20 min.
4. In the meantime, take a large saucepan and pour 5 cups of water in it. Now add salt and cooking oil in it.
5. Turn the flame on and bring the water to boil. When the time in step 3 is up, transfer the soaked rice to the saucepan. Just transfer rice without water. Stir well and keep the flame high.
