In another pot, bring 2L water to a boil with 1 tbsp (12g) of salt. Strain the soaked rice and add it to the pot of water, boil for 5-6 mins, until the rice is 75% done

This came out really well. Have been following Cookd recipes for many years, and have previously used many chicken masalas as well, but first time bought a Biriyani kit. Made my Malayalee heart very happy! :)
