When soaking the rice in water I use about 1 teaspoon of salt for one cup of rice. For the meat mixture I usually use about 1 teaspoon of salt for each pound of meat.

It's alright to be on the safe side and use less Azita Mehranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133913930130298761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986297911698447298.post-32202523770836839252015-10-27T17:19:55.512-04:002015-10-27T17:19:55.512-04:00Hi azita jan.

I don't really like the taste of sale but I find that I don't put enough eventho it seems like a lot when I'm adding it. Everyobe always complains that my food is very bi namak.
