Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, bacteria that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive. Then, if the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. Reheating the rice won't get rid of these toxins.

So, the longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that bacteria, or the toxins they produce, could stop the rice being safe to eat.

It's best to serve rice when it has just been cooked. If that isn't possible, cool the rice as quickly as possible (ideally within one hour) and keep it in the fridge for no more than one day until reheating.

Remember that when you reheat any food, you should always check that it's piping hot all the way through, and avoid reheating more than once.So once it's made it's best to eat it ASP, if there is any left straight into the fridge and either eat it cold or reheat to piping hot.

You can eat it cold, or reheat it in the microwave, if you have any left. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the cream or yoghurt, - but it's your choice. I like mine really spicy.

Agreed. Thanks for that reminder Ted, I'd thank you - but your button's missing for now.

Well, the object of the first attempt is to familiarise myself with the basics. Subsequent efforts might be tweaked a little to suit my tastes. I think I'll probably go with the recipe from Ted's link to start with as it seems, like me, fairly simple.

You aren't simple, you're very, very funny!
