Why is Indian rice cooked in bulk and our rice cooked in gel?

Speaking of rice, everyone should be familiar with it. In China, this is the staple food for more than half of people every day. A bowl of steaming glutinous white rice with all kinds of stir-fried dishes or fried meat is not generally delicious. When you eat, you can see that all the cooked meals are gathered together, but the meals cooked in India are scattered one by one. Why is this? Next, let's take a look!

First of all, in the traditional food culture, China eats with chopsticks, while Indians use their hands. When they eat rice, in order to hold it with their hands more conveniently and prevent it from sticking to their hands, they will put the washed rice in a steamer, so as not to let the rice directly contact with water, and steam it. When the rice is steamed, it will naturally be loose and easy to grasp.

And when they eat rice, the ingredients are mostly curry or mixed spices. Steamed rice is served, and the dipping sauce is set aside. After mixing evenly by hand, grab it and eat it. Curries and dips are mostly yellow. I don't know how it tastes, but this color and eating method are really unacceptable to most people in China.

Everyone knows that Indians use their hands directly to go to the toilet, without paper, and eat with their hands. Although they have a good division of labor, they need to cooperate with each other to complete everything!

Secondly, in China, when cooking, we use electric cookers. When pouring water, the water usually exceeds the position of the rice. In the process of cooking, a lot of water seeps into the rice. When it is cooked, it will stick together. You can hold it directly with chopsticks when eating, so that it won't fall off. Therefore, this sticky glutinous rice dumpling is also very popular with many people.

Moreover, we should know that the raw material of rice is rice, and the Indian climate is better than most parts of China. Most rice is harvested twice a year, and there is plenty of sunshine. The time from germination to growth is very fast, and the starch inside will not easily produce sugar. Coupled with direct cooking without water, it will naturally be dry.

However, in many parts of China, crops are harvested once a year, and only some southern areas are harvested twice a year. Because it is hybrid rice, it is more or less different from traditional rice. The growth time is longer and the sugar content is higher. It is also sticky after boiling, tastes sweet and tastes good.
