Hope you really enjoy the video peeps and can take some tips from it. Please subscribe if you're new. Cheers Al
Great stuff. Went down to my local ‘Indian’ food store today and finally picked myself up a aluminium pan. Made the tika rezala with paneer. Unreal!
Awesome as usual AL how many times can you reheat the rice
@@jonpauljones5797 just the once. Per portion
Are you going to cook more curries without using base gravy
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
wow! i did this recipe (without the colours) for the first time this evening! it WORKS! rinse and soak your rice, get a pan of boiling water bubbling away and cook (my electric hob is a bit rubbish for maintaining heat so I had it going for about 6 minutes). took it off the off heat and would you believe it? restaurant quality cooked basmati rice!!!? I have never been able to do this before!! AMAZING!
Chuffed for you mate. I know how it feels to finally get rice right
My mrs and I have just done this rice recipie and it came out perfect. We teamed it up AGAIN with Al's Madras curry and when I tasted it I said to my wife YOU COULD SELL THAT! Hands down no one touches Al on RUclips for curries and I found that out the hard way! Once again another We Are Not Worthy to you Al and THANK YOU!
Now then Al, as a fully qualified chef, I have always used the absortion method when cooking savory rice. Which to be fair has always worked for me. However,I had a go at this method following your video. I'm amazed how easy and brilliant it turned out to be.so it will be this method here on in !
Only recently discovered als channel ive just tried this and it works perfectly 👌, i have also just cooked the lamb gosht but haven't tried it yet I'm keeping it until tomorrow, I always think curry taste better the day after
Hi Al I keep trying with Tilda basmati but doesnt seem to come out very good a a bit bitty Ive tried drop method chinese method assuming this Veetee is better especially for a biriani.Hope youre well
Nice coloured rice Al. Even better, is the West Ham coloured beanie you're wearing.
So it's that easy. Going to try this.
Hi al thanks .. where can i find the TRS powders please as im going to try this recipe tomorrow ???
Great tips Al…..thanks
I still use your original method of boiling until ready then draining in a colander,pouring a kettle of boiling water over the rice,turning out onto a tray then stirring with a fork.It’s never failed me 👌🏻
If you run cold water over the rice at the end to stop the cooking process does the rice become cold? Then reheat it instantly in the microwave to eat it the same day??? I'm confused
Brilliant video.
My local Indian does the most perfectly separated non-stodgy rice and I’ve wondered for ages how they do it. The 5 minute cook the previous day seems to be the trick
This is the method I use now - 100% bang-on all the time! Only difference is, I make big batches, so I mix the colours when the rice has chilled for a few hours and don't heat it up. This way, I can freeze it into single-portion tubs, and so am only heating it back up the once! 👌
How much rice to water should I use?
Tried this today for the first time with PERFECT results! Many thanks, Al's Kitchen. Subscribed, liked and shared. :)
What a coincidence! I was all set to come on here and recommend Veetee (long grain) basmati rice. Another good one is the aged basmati rice from Lidl which is good quality and half the price of Tilda. The preferred pilau rice would be made with saffron, but nobody these days can afford it...
Thank you so much Al, never had homemade white rice so good, not even close - amazing life hack cheers
Hi Al, Russ from NZ again here. I use a recipe from the Curry Club's Pat Chapman from some 30 years ago. 3 cups Basmati rice rinsed 5 times. I flavour the rice with 4 bay leaves, 6 cloves, 4 green Cardamoms,1 tsp salt, 2" cinnamon, 1oz butter, and 1 pint water. Put the whole lot in an oven suitable pan and bring to a slow boil. Once the water is no longer visible,(keep an eye on it) put on lid and place in oven for 20 mins at 240C. Same sort of principle as yours for colouring, except I just use red and yellow (turmeric) food colouring to get white, red, yellow, and orange colouring.
Thanks Al.
I like a little ghee in mine.
When do i add this please?
Just after the mivrowave stage?
Or before?
Thanks
After the microwave stage.
Thanks very much
Hi Al. Another great video. I’m new to your channel and BIR home cooking. I am taking delivery today of 7 pot spice tin, can you advise best spices to put in it please. Thanks.
Hi AL can you use liqued colouring instead of powder TRS ??
I find the liquid doesn't stain as well.
Al's went and got some authentic Indian hair transplanted on, it's becoming an obsession now lol.
What about the 24h/overnight soak to dissolve heavy metals soak out heavy metals?
A find cooking the rice harder than the curry! Margin for error is tiny
Nice one.. didn't know this. Been cooking rice differently. Anyway.. how about replacing the colouring w natural colours? Kasmiri/paprika for red.. tumeric for yellow and corriander leaves through p&m for the green. More work tho. Can mush it into a paste day before
Only ever coked rice with the 2 to 1 absorption method , will definitely give this a go thanks for the tip bud 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Great Al. What wasn't great, is when you said Alexa stop- mine heard and stopped the video playing on my TV haha.
You set off my Alexa timer. Three times, cuz I had to check if it was your Alexa or mine which spoke back. I think it was mine.
Interesting. What about timings for Wholegrain Rice? Starting to see this on the menu in a few local places.
Boil for about 2 hours! Just kidding. But it does take much longer.
You are making Indian cooking so much easier and accessible. Great videos.
Two to one ,add two units of rice to pan, put splash of oil coat rice turnheat full. Meanwhile boil one unit of water add to hot rice,turn down to lowest setting cover for twelve minutes . Your welcome
Hi buddy,..Wow, absolutely delicious noodles😋, thanks for sharing! 👌Definitely will tryout your awesome recipes!🥰😍👍@!!sukria
Nice one Al, looks great to me.. rest up after the surgery 😀. Cheers 🍻
Its white rice for me from now on, but I was extremely curious how to make this. Thanks
This is amazing but don’t they fry it in ghee just before they serve it to the customer?
Many thanks Al great work
Yeah they do in restaurants when you order pilau rice. This is a basic how to cook rice video. Thanks
@@AlsKitchen excellent! Video is definitely a huge time saver
Al when would you freeze it, I want to do a few batches ready for when family comes.
So you only cook the rice for 4.5 mins? Does this apply to all rice?
Sorry Al but this is not Pilau Rice! It's just coloured boiled rice! Watch how Julian Voigt from curry academy cooks it in a pressure cooker, it is real Pilau Rice and delicious especially if 1 teaspoon of Kewra Water is added! However your Curries are absolutely magic! Sorry about the criticism!
Hi.. No one said it's Pilau. The title says, "Perfect coloured rice"
I use the same colourings but a different much simpler method and get perfect results every time. You don’t use any spices?? Gotta have cassia bark, cardamoms, cloves , bay leaf in the water mate!!. I rinse the rice, 2 tbs oil in the pot with spices, heat in 180deg. Oven for 5-6 mins, add rice and stir, back in oven(no water at this point) for 5-6 mins, then add boiling water to 10mm above rice, lid on, back in oven 15 mins. Then take out oven, remove spices that are on the surface, make 3 small pockets and add colourings, then cover these pockets with rice, cover for 10-15 mins mix to disperse colour and your good to go!!
I always thought they dyed all the colours separately in the restaurants but I guess not. Will try this now. Thanks again for another great vid
My pleasure 😊
Hey Al, thank you so much for this recipe, at last perfect rice!
I’ve just made this ,First time my rice is edible not gluey stoggey it’s a miracle well done chef 🤩🤩🤩
That's great to hear. Tell everyone lol
Top bloke. Thanks for the guide mate!
I’ve just finished my bag of veetee rice and it was definitely the nicest rice we’ve had. I’ll be trying this cooking method. 👍🏻
Easy as ........ Thanks AL.... another top tips video for pro rice. Can't check your instagram as I'm not on it but hope it's been OK whatever you've done !!... One small criticism.... NO BEER !!!!!!!! ;-)
I prefer spices to paining rice a day before. Funny video.
Hi just got everything to have a go at the rice , normally do mine with absorption method , so looking forward to this your rice looks divine, PS could I ask were you got your large white bowl from as I could only get a white glass one , not happy with it. regards Trev .🖕
Hi al,
Just tried this for first time..
I followed your video to the letter, all went perfect upto...
After cooking the rice for 4.30mins i drained the boiling water and rice was perfect, not 2 grains stuck together
Then i put cold water in, moved rice round a bit with my hand like you do, then i just let the cold water overflow for 2 or 3 mins til the water cleared..
When i drained the cold water and tipped rice into the dish its a bit stodgy now...
Did i rinse it with cold water too long?
Im using morrisons basmati rice, but am getting the Veetee brand for next time
Thx in advance
I usually half fill my sink with warm water, put my rice in a sieve, swirl it round, drain and repeat and the rice is clean...Then put it in a pyrex bowl, soak for 30 mins, then drain and transfer into a pan, add boiling water from the kettle, 4.5 mins is spot on Al. Pour into the sieve over the sink and it's perfect... Wish I'd have known about that brand of rice Al...Iv'e just bought 10kg's of Kohinoor extra fine.... Another tip you might want to share with your viewers is save the oil from cooking pakora and onion barges, strain it and put it in kilner bottles and use to start your curry off...The seasoned oil adds more depth of flavour like you get in a BIR.
Hi Al,
Always used a rice cooker before, but this as you say is fool proof and I can see the rice cooker collecting dust at the back of the cupboard.
Previously though, I used to add the fried tarka into the boiling water in the rice cooker.
Is there any way your fool-proof way could be adapted to make Pilau Rice please?
Many thanks.
Hi, after boiling the rice and stopping the cooking process do you allow the rice to dry before adding the colouring
Drain well and then colour
Where do you get your food colouring from? 😊
What about spooning put 3 separate little portions off rice and colouring each...then letting everything cool then mix in just before use ..cheers
Where do get those sauce pans from with the spout on either side
Ah todays a good day i actually mastered rice today lol a big thank you mate i have allways struggled with rice until i done this method. I have made my base gravy asswell, so its south indian garlic chilli chicken tonight. Smashin it pal ma favourite channel, its good to see your views going up you deserve it, please dont stop doing what your doing its simply class, your a legend
I thought food colours are banned from using?
I have been using the absorption method all these years where that is going to have to be tried and used forever more I think... Thank you.
God bless you Al , hope you make a good recovery and keep us educated for a long time to come I will try this rice, it looks great thanks again buddy
How could you do this without a microwave?
thanks mate make that soon always buy cheaper brand but not anymore ,hope your well mate btw loving my aluminum pan cheers mate ,spoke to my gas engineer yesterday he says the philips draught machine is the bollocks
Thanking you so much for sharing your skills with us , I did the rice last night it was fantastic, best rice I've ever made , plus your base 2 gravy along with chicken tikka mushroom Balti , my friend's were blown away .👌
Al's kitchen wats this rice like need to try it
i know people say they make authentic tasting curry, has anyone tried these recipies?. love your videos by the way
Best rice I've ever cooked and to go with the chicken tikka madras, a meal to savour!! Chicken tikka raises it massively compared to just chicken fillet!!!! New to the channel and love it. Many more recipes to try!!!
First time every watching one of Al,s videos, it was absolutely amazing cannot wait to get started on my unduan cooking journey 😀
Even I can bugger it up now and again...
Hi Al, tried this with 2 large mugs of rice and used 2 tsp of salt in the water but the rice didn't taste salted, how can I fix this?
Love the rice thank you 🙏
So bogus.....use saffron chile powder and green onions! Sorry Al!
Fascinating ❤
Thanks for sharing
Another footproof way of cooking rice! And very few of them work if any. So I tried it, and hells teeth man, it damn well worked! This really is the only way to create the best basmati coloured rice. Al you are a marvel, this is even better than I can cook in my rice cooker! And the white rice stays pure white and the colours stay true to their respective colours. Just one thing Al I do want want those fantastic flavours of the restaurant pilau rice so how about the recipe using this methodology for the cooking? Many thanks Al you have cracked it on this one!
where is the flavor seasoning? i didn't see you put them in the water...
This was plain coloured rice. Seasoning can be added though
Just found this channel amazing video will subscribe 👍
Another great presentation Al. Where do you buy your TRS food colours from ? YNWA
Is it ok to freeze the rice to use later?
I could never get my rice right until tonight. I followed you step by step and for the first time ever I had PERFECTION :-) Thank you so much
Al.. I’m great at making rice. your way looks much easier, cheaper and with the same result. Top job buddy.
I believe the term is "diverse rice".
Looks amazing Al 👍🏻
Might just have to stop buying ready cooked pilau rice from Aldi 😉
Hope all is good with you!
Cheers mate!
Kev
You shouldn’t need to empty the water and then use cold water to stop the cooking process, what you want to do is put enough water in so normally 1 part rice 1.5 part water with the rice on a medium high until the water is bubbling then simmer with lid on for 12-15mins depending how how much rice is used, then remove the heat and leave it for 5-10 mins with lid on
I don't like the absorption method. Open to failure plus unhealthy amounts of arsenic retained in the rice. Use plenty of water to boil the rice.
Thanks Al, you made my alexa start a 4 minute timer...
Bit sad to see artificial colourings being used by you Al :( Many other ways to be 'with the times' authentic, and an influencer going forward! Come on All! Believe in you!
Just demonstrating what restaurants do Ruth. This is it!!
Al does the rice not taste taste less by rinsing with water after cooking
My rice was hard ? How come ? I done exactly what u done
Glad I'm not the only one, I had to cook mine for 11 minutes before it was even remotely edible. Not sure if the quality of the rice matters or what.
Thankyou Al Brill
That looks amazing Al. Thanks for sharing. Speedy recovery from your surgery...
Thanks - looks amazing - I usually use the "1 and a bit volume of water" then lowest heat 10 mins then leave the lid on with the heat off for 10 mins method, but will definitely be giving this a go. Just ordered the TRS powdered colourings - they don't seem to be that readily available but found an online supplier of all three colours. Coming tomorrow (rather expensive postage but hey ho) - hoping for good results!
Is this rice brand available in any of the big supermarkets?
I've done rice your way twice this week n it's been spot one. Cheers 👍
Pilau rice you mean
Veg PULAV
I was about to order an Aluminim frying pan on amazon Al, but we have an electric induction hob, could you recommend a pan that I can make your recipes on with this type of hob please ?
Let me know if you find one, I'm in same position.
Just done your rice, worked a treat 👍🏼. Simple when you know how, keep up the good work.
At last someone who cooks rice properly,!! I have cooked my rice this way for at least a decade!!!! Perfect rice every single time.
Love your videos, keep up the delicious good work 🤘
Great stuff Al. I think that rice would go perfect with a brand new chicken tikka masala recipe? Please?? :)
Spot on Al. I usually use the absorption method .will have a bash at this tomorrow. Teamed up with chicken tikka starter and garlic chilli lamb.
Brilliant. Thanks Al. I'm going to prepare mine tonight ready to go with your King Prawn Chilli Masala tomorrow
Al, have you ever put a couple of cardamom pods in the rice to flavour it a little? I'm going to have a bash to see if it works 👍
You can add cinnamon sticks star anise as well as cardamom pods, there are some good recipes on line just type in pilou rice
Did anyone elses Alexa start a 4 minute timer? 😂
Vectra grow. Hot to cold
