The secret of any risotto is to add the liquid slowly and often moving, so the rice absorbs the liquid and release the starch, leaving the creamy and fluffy risotto. Another tip is to not let the risotto get too dry. The final tip is that the rice should be separately prepared and other ingredients, if any, should be added to the rice only at the end of the preparation.
