- 1
Rinse the basmati rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain well.

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground turmeric and black pepper, stirring for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and toast for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly until the grains become slightly translucent and coated with oil.

Pour in the water and add the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.

Simmer for 15–18 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not lift the lid during cooking.

Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Stir in the lemon juice and toss with chopped fresh parsley, then season to taste with additional salt or pepper if needed.
