  • Make sure the sauteed mixture does not burn or char.
  • Make sure the rice is fluffy and not sticky. Use plenty of water (add a teaspoon of oil so grains separate). Once cooked, spread the grains out and cool it down to room temperature
  • Use plenty of lemon juice. Make sure you take out the seeds and you do not let the lemon flesh in - only the juice.
