Buttered Rice Preparation

Rinse the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from being sticky.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
