    Auntie Hersha must have learnt her much-criticised method from this video!

    The flaws in Method 1 are:
    a) When you drain the rice you are throwing away the nutrients (vitamins and minerals included) in the water. Many people in India are still malnourished and this should not be wasted. One disease caused by polishing rice in the manufacturing process and thus reducing the amount of Vitamin B1 left is Beri-beri. There would be less Vitamin B1 left if you wash the rice after cooking it.
    b) The presenter said, "you can rinse it with some cold water and let it cool down immediately". Again, more nutrients are wasted. Also the resulting rice is cold, wet and not palatable.
    c) There is so much work and time wasted in this method. If you get a programmable rice-cooker or a plug-in timer switch+a regular rice cooker, and you measure the water precisely, you can let it soak the rice for the time required, let it cook the rice to perfection without constantly watching over it and there is no need to drain and then rinse the rice again. People in East Asia are doing other useful things while their rice cooks, while people India are slaves to the cooking rice…

    The flaws in Method 2 are:
    a) The presenter said, "… soaking is a very important step because it helps in getting rid of the excess starch." Which BSc does she have to say BS like that? The reason to soak rice is to hydrate it a little to make it faster to cook, but if you factor in the soaking time, you actually take a longer time overall.
    b) The complexity of using a pressure cooker is enough to turn off or scare off so many older folks. This is a ridiculous method to suggest here.
    c) If you can afford a pressure cooker, you can well-afford a rice cooker, the latter of which can cook a lot more useful stuff well than the pressure cooker can.
    d) I have said before that there is no significant time-savings in using the pressure cooker to even the stove-top method. This is a ridiculous method.
    e) The presenter is lying to us. The rice is over-cooked.

    my mum thought me to cook rice, in open pan and in pressure cooker. NEVER EVER EVER i have to drain rice. It's simple logic, one cup rice, two cum water, salt and ghee, boil it for five min on high and simmer it on low flame covered (Use tawa below pan or a simply use heavy bottom pan) for 12-15 min. and it's done.
