Notes

  1. It is important to soak the rice otherwise it will not get evenly cooked.
  2. Covering with a lid or cling wrap is important so heat does not escape while cooking and it fastens the cooking process.
  3. The lid or cling wrap must have holes in them, otherwise the water spills over & alters the cooking process.
  4. Keeping the bowl in the centre of the oven is important for uniform cooking.
  5. The microwave timings are suggested as per the microwave I use which may change slightly as per your microwave.
