• When choosing rice, do not ignore the prescription recommendations for its selection. Incorrectly selected cereals can change not only the consistency of the finished dish, but also its taste.
• Always grab the rice cereal so that the dirt that has accidentally got into it (small pebbles and husks) does not get into the prepared dish. After that, thoroughly rinse the rice under the tap to clean water, if you want to get a crumbly dish.
• To make the onions and carrots well browned, fry the vegetables with the lid closed.
• For roasting vegetables, pre-boiling rice and roasting meat, you can use the stove. This will save time.
