Rice is a staple food in many cultures, and its versatility makes it a beloved ingredient worldwide, especially in Delhi and NCR. This is not just because of the foodies here, but also thanks to Aap Ka Bazar®, a monthly grocery app, website, and store(s) that offers all branded, premium quality, and a wide range of basmati rice. Among them, Gauri Rice stands out as one of the best brands, perfect for every rice recipe—from biryani to pulao, from sushi to kheer, and more.
While there are various methods to cook rice, Aap Ka Bazar®, with the help of Gauri Rice, will guide you through two major techniques: using a rice steamer and regular cookware. Plus, you’ll enjoy up to 50% off on the ingredients mentioned below, with the convenience of one-day home delivery across Delhi and NCR.
In this blog, Delhities will explore two popular rice recipes: Steamed Mogra Rice prepared in a rice steamer and One-Pot Soybean and Rice cooked in regular cookware, So let’s satisfy our rice cravings together!
Steamed Mogra Rice (Rice Steamer)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Mogra rice
- 2 ½ cups water
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Method:
- Rinse the Rice: Choose premium quality mogra rice grains and begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. If you choose Gauri Rice, there’s no need to sort the grains, as they are pre-sorted and packed to ensure top quality. However, if you opt for another mogra rice brand, you may need to sort them yourself. This step removes excess starch, preventing the rice grains from becoming sticky and eliminating impurities.
- Add to Steamer: Place the rinsed rice in the rice steamer’s inner pot. Add water and a pinch of Puro salt if desired. Aap Ka Bazar® recommends using this everyday salt because it is healthier than other branded salts, as its packaging suggests.
- Cook: Set the rice steamer to the “Cook” setting. The steamer automatically adjusts the cooking time based on the amount of rice and water, usually taking about 25-30 minutes—roughly the same time it takes for Aap Ka Bazar® to deliver your entire monthly grocery order across Delhi and NCR.
- Fluff and Serve: Once the steamer switches to the “Warm” setting, allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving it alongside ready-to-serve curry, ready to eat chana masala, MTR Paneer, ready to eat dal, and more. These “open, heat, and enjoy” meals are available on the Aap Ka Bazar® application, starting at just ₹120, with on-time home delivery across Delhi and NCR.
Why This Recipe Works: Mogra rice/Mogra chawal is known for its fragrant aroma and slightly sticky texture, making it perfect for steaming. The rice steamer method ensures evenly cooked grains with minimal effort. Steamed mogra rice grains pair well with a variety of dishes, from curries to stir-fries, as Aap Ka Bazar® mentioned above, all available at affordable prices. You can also get mogra rice 1kg for just ₹50.
Oe-Pot Soybean and Rice (Regular Cookware)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Basmati rice
- 2 cups Soyabean
- 1 onion, finely chopped, or choose onion powder to avoid chopping
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or choose crunchy garlic powder to avoid chopping
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- Fresh/dried parsley for garnish
Method:
- Saute the Chicken: Heat Indian olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the soya chunk with jeera, paprika masala, namak, and kali mirchi. Add the soya badi to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the soybeans and set them aside and always choose hygienically packed soya chunks to prevent impurities. These are available on the Aap Ka Bazar® application with a 50% discount.
- Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent, or if you’re using powder of onion, sauté until it turns a light golden color.
- Add Rice and Broth: Add the Tibar Basmati rice to the pot, stirring to coat the grains in the cooking oil and onion mixture. Pour in the soybeans and bring the mixture to a simmer. Whether you’re using Aap Ka Bazar’s own branded soya, Nutrela Soya Chunks, Saffola Soya Chunks, or Nutrela Soya Mini Chunks, you can save up to 50% off the MRP.
- Combine and Simmer: Place the soya vari back into the pot, along with the frozen peas and carrots. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the basmati rice grains are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. For the best rice craving satisfaction, choose Gauri Tibar Rice, which has a special feature of blooming 2-3 times more after cooking. It’s also available with a 50% discount and on-time home delivery across Delhi and NCR.
- Fluff and Serve: Once the rice is cooked, remove the soya bean, serve them, and enjoy over the rice. Garnish with parsley seasoning.
Why This Recipe Works: The one-pot soya badi and rice recipe is a comforting, hearty dish that combines protein and grains in one easy meal. Cooking everything in one pot allows the flavors to meld together, while the Basmati chawal remains fluffy and flavorful. This method is ideal for those who prefer a more hands-on cooking approach and enjoy the convenience of minimal cleanup as Aap Ka Bazar® offers a wide selection of rice brands known for their taste, texture, and aroma, with discounts of up to 50% on AKB Basmati Rice, India Gate Tibar Basmati Rice, Daawat Biryani Basmati Rice, Everyday Basmati Rice, Premium Basmati Rice, and more.
