NOTES:
- We need total 10 cups of broth for 5 cup rice so if you have broth more than 10 cups, cook more until it becomes 10 cups because we already added the salt for rice in broth wo need exactly 10 cups broth.
- If you have broth less than 10 cups broth for example 8 or 9 cups, add 1 or 2 cups water to make it 10 cups.
- You can use yellow dry lemons as well. If you don’t find dry lemon, skip it.
