Basmati Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the basmati rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice

    Soak the rinsed rice in water for about 30 minutes. This will help the grains cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and butter or oil.

  4. 4

    Add Rice

    Once the water is boiling, add the soaked rice to the saucepan.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice before serving.
