Lightly frying the rice before cooking it is a quite common practice for Mexican rice, and it seems to help reduce the starch content to make the rice less sticky and keep the grains whole. Here's one link I found regarding this topic: https://chatelaine.com/food/pre-fried-rice/
Ya my mom always did that.
Interesting, thanks for the link! I'm from Brazil, and our culinary has a lot in common with Mexican cuisine... I wonder if I saw someone doing that, and that's where I picked it up from!
