If the rice is only slightly wet, remove it from the cooker and place it in a wide vessel, then heat it on a low flame for a few minutes to gradually decrease the excess moisture. Avoid stirring it repeatedly so the grains do not break and become mushier.
You can preheat an oven to about 175 degrees Celsius, spread the rice in a thin layer on a baking tray, and heat it for approximately 10 minutes. Ensure you monitor the rice carefully to prevent it from becoming too dry and take safety precautions against heat injuries.
Instead of throwing away very mushy rice, you can mix it with boiled potatoes, finely chopped onions, green chilies, and spices to shape and cook tikkis or rice balls on a griddle. It can also be utilized to make khichdi or added to thicken certain types of soups.
