  2. Then take a pot with a thick bottom and heat the oil in it on high heat. Add rice and stir it well. Make sure all the grains of the rice are covered with oil. Spread the rice on the bottom of the pot. Let it fry a bit until it gets light brown. Then stir the rice and spread it across the bottom of the pan once again.

  4. Pour the rest of the stock into a pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and keep simmering on low heat for about 15 minutes or more until the rice is well cooked.

  5. Remove the pot from heat, take the lid away and cover the pot with a kitchen towel. Then re-cover it with the lid once again. This is required to absorb extra liquid and steam from the pot. Set the pot aside for about 20 minutes.
