Bora Saulor Logot Jolpan

Steam the Rice

• Prepare a steamer. If you don't have one, you can place a colander over a pot of boiling water. Line the steamer basket or colander with a clean, damp muslin cloth or a banana leaf for an authentic aroma.
• Spread the drained, soaked rice evenly onto the cloth. Do not pack it down. Sprinkle the salt over the rice.
• Cover the steamer with a lid and steam over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes.
• To check for doneness, take a few grains and press them between your fingers. They should be completely soft, translucent, and sticky. If not, steam for another 5 minutes.

Assemble and Serve

• Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat. Let it sit for a minute before carefully transferring it to a serving bowl.
• Fluff the hot sticky rice gently with a fork or spoon.
• Serve the hot Bora Saul immediately. On the side, present separate small bowls containing the thick curd, grated jaggery, and fresh cream.
• Each person can then mix the accompaniments into their rice according to their preference, creating their own perfect bowl of Jolpan.
