Boiling of rice

Wash the rice well with fresh water and soak it for atleast 30 minutes.
Further, set water for boiling in a stock pot, once the water starts to boil, add the star anise, fresh red chillies and salt, mix well and add the soaked rice, boil & cook for 4-5 minutes or until the rice is almost cooked. Make sure the rice is not fully over overcooked. There should be a little bite in it.
Once the rice is almost done, drain the water and remove the rice in a sieve or a big size thal, to evaporate the steam and to stop the further cooking process. Use a fork to fluff up the rice to avoid any breaking of the grains. Keep it aside to be used later in making the pot rice.
