Cooking Instructions
Rinse the Rice
Place the basmati rice in a bowl and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed rice in water for about 30 minutes. This helps the grains to expand and cook evenly.
Add Rice
Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot with the spices. Stir gently for a minute to coat the rice with the ghee and spices.
Cook the Rice
Add the water and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
