Micro Stories- How Rice is made

Rice is cooked at my house by my mother. The types of rice we generally use are Kolam rice and Boiled rice. We are a family of three who eat rice two times a day. Thus, we cook 2 cups of plain rice daily. Before cooking the rice, it is washed 3 times with tap water. The tap water is then spilled and the vessel of freshly washed rice is filled with filtered water; 2 teaspoons of salt is added and it is cooked on high flame till it comes to a boil. The starch is then separated, by draining the water in which it is cooked. This is how rice is made at my home in the South Indian style.
