Rice contains a high amount of starch, which eventually leads to a sticky and clumpy texture when cooked.
Different types of rice require different cooking methods and water ratios.
Cooking on high flame continuously will make your grains cook unevenly, which will lead to a mushy exterior and uncooked interior.
Stirring rice excessively during cooking disrupts its delicate balance, leading to a sticky and clumpy mess.
Ignoring the water-to-rice ratio is the biggest mistake to the rice’s texture and flavour. Too much water will leave your rice mushy, while too little will give a dry.
