- Rinse rice in 2 changes of cold water; drain. Bring rice and 4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add oil and salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Spoon rice into a large bowl; let cool to room temperature. Add yogurt, mango, buttermilk, and cilantro; stir gently.
