Riza

OK, this is how I cook riza, it's bloody good, even if I say so myself.

Ingredients: Rice, boiled water, veggie oil, salt.

1- Pour a bit of oil in the qosarta while heating it for a couple of mins. I usually put the temp. on 7 (out of 9).
2- Throw the riza in there (for example 3 cups of rice) and let it's butt fry a bit, then mix it so that it doesn't burn, and keep doing that for 1-2 mins.
3- Pour 150% of the number of rice cups you're cooking, so in our example, 4.5 cups of boiled water are poured into it.
4- Keep the temp. to full or near full for a few mins until the water is almost fully absored by the rice.
5- Add salt (depends on how salty you want it) and mix.
6- Turn the temp. down to 1 or 2 and let it cook slowly for 30-45 mins, maybe even 60 mins if you're not in a rush.

and you're done.

 
Oh wow, an Assyrian man who cooks!!

That looks good Salem, but I use a ton of butter instead of the veggie oil  :mrgreen:

That's the way how I cook the rice exept I add salt when I add water so the number 5 is first and then number 4, you don't want ur riza to be half salty o half pakhaa <-- just like u lol

LOL, it's only riza (white, red, and with chicken) and pasta, plus a few combinations of egg, bacon, tomatoes, etc for breakie. Aside from the weekend breakie, I cook once in a blue moon, so I'm still your typical Assyrian man in that sense.

I don't like oily food, thats why I just put a little bit of oil

Homzimla faylasoofet zamano, I generally dont put any salt, my parents have high blood pressure, so I let the person add the salt they need.

So what else do you cook khalti? ee bashlat mindi baseema? Yin magwilana d'libba makhdyakh?  :mrgreen:

ana leh mamryan rishee....i put everything in the rice cooker...best rice in 20 mins!

It's not organic that way  :giggle:

 
I cook it similar to that but I like to add a bit of butter when you add the salt, and it doesn't make it greasy it just adds a bit of flavour I think it tastes MMMMMMM.

Also I cover it with a tea towel when its on low heat i find it gets really fluffy.

Then pour it into a plate and just add masta (yougurt) I could eat it all day.

I hungry now im gonna go stuff my face.
:mrgreen:

1- Oilve Oil and add a little bit Sha3reeya (the noodles).. till its brown
2- I add the Rice - but after i have it in the water for couple of hours.  I stir it till its mixed with Sha3reeya too.
3- Add hot boiled chicken flav water (if its not salty enough you can add salt or bouillon (MAGIE) - (i prefer the chicken flav water over just water)  :giggle:
4- Leave it on low heat and leave it to cook on the low heat.
5- Optional to add with it - Moi hubby loves pinto beans with it too.. so i make it just how he loves it  :)

hahahaha i was cooking riza today and i forced myself to wait 30 minutes until it "fully" cooked then ate it
 
I make it same way as Salem... except add the salt with water...
but sometimes I add Vegeta, fry it with your rice and yummmy the rice comes out delicious

Exactly how I make it, except I only use half a cup more water, not one and a half cups more.

Bak - I use oil like Salem, but when the rice is finished, I put a couple pats of butter on top of the rice and close the qosarta, letting it melt in.  Mmmmmmmm.
 
I love to cook my rice favorable with chicken/beef bouillon with fresh ground garlic cook before adding the water in the pot. I also add 1 cinnamon stick, crushed whole green cardamom, just make sure you don't crush all the way and put maybe about 5 or 6 in the boiling water. About 4 or 5 whole cloves but don't over do the cloves. This is for yellow and biryani rice, or some time red rice.

Keep in mind, remove the spices. Once the rice is cook, all the cardamom, cloves, and stick cinnamon should rise to the top. Remove them and then mix the rice gently. I like Basmati or Jasmine or mix half and half.
