It’s a pilau rice dish with tomatoes, coconut and cashews. It said to clean then soak the rice whilst I prepared everything else, cooked the onions etc then add the rice, coconut milk and some water, bring to boil then cover and leave cooking and “turn the heat down to a whisper and cook for a further 15 minutes.” Then take it off the heat and leave to stand for 10 minutes before serving. But when I came back to it the rice was completely uncooked.
We’ve got induction hobs and I turned it down to 1 and one ring and it was still bubbling so thought that would be fine but evidently something has gone wrong. Should I have left it on a higher heat, did I take the “whisper” far too literally?
I had to add more hot water and cook for another 10 minutes which didn’t do it then more water and another 10 and it was still not at all cooked then I added some more water and gave it yet another 10 minutes - all covered - and it was overcooked and it’s increased in size like twofold. It was supposed to serve four and would probably do ten!
