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.
