Boiled Rice for Curry Dishes.

Alas! how very few can say they can boil rice properly. It is a most difficult feat to many an expert cook, and yet it is very simple, when one knows how.

To accomplish this a small quantity of rice must be cooked in a large volume of water. An ordinary half pint cup full of rice should be boiled in at least a gallon of water. It will surpris
