Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- water
Instructions
- Soak rice for 30 minutes in cold water. Rinse the rice in a fine sieve with cold water. This will remove any residual starches.
- In a medium to large pot (depending on the quantity of rice), add twice as much water as rice. In this case 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.
- Watching carefully, bring the water/rice to a boil and then turn down to low heat. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Avoid removing the lid. At this point the water should be absorbed.
- Remove from heat, leave covered and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Before serving, fluff with a fork.
Notes
Allow ⅓ cup uncooked rice per person.
