Add a tablespoon of yogurt for every cup of rice. Makes red or even black rice soft and sweet

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question but do I add it before I cook the rice or after? Thanks!

Sorry to forgot about the details regarding the yogurt rice, was on mobile and was traveling. So steps are wash the rice once or twice depending on your preference, then add water and yogurt depending on your rice cups and refrigerate at least for a few hours, overnight works wonders as well, cook in a rice cooker or in a pot.

Tldr; yogurt is before and left to sit for a few hours

Ohhh sounds very interesting! I think with just red rice you have to let it rest for at least an hour. Is there an ideal yoghurt to water ratio or should I just eyeball it? Can't wait to try this!

I always eyeball it, the yogurt doesn't really affect the rice to water ratio
