  • Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.

MADHUR'S SPICED BASMATI RICE



Madhur's Spiced Basmati Rice image

Martha's friend Madhur Jaffrey, author of numerous Indian cookbooks, shares her secret for perfectly cooked rice. Washing the rice minimizes the starchy powder left over from the milling process, while soaking allows each grain to absorb water so that it sticks less to the next grain during cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups uncooked basmati rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 fresh hot green chile
1/2 teaspoon very finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon Madhur's Garam Masala Madhur's Garam Masala
1 teaspoon salt
2 2/3 cups Homemade Chicken Stock Homemade Chicken Stock

Steps:

  • Pick over rice, and place it in a large bowl. Wash rice with several changes of water. Drain.
  • Pour 5 cups of fresh water over the rice, and let it soak for 30 minutes. Transfer to a sieve, and let drain for 20 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until onion has lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice, green chile, garlic, Garam Masala, and salt. Stir gently until all the grains have been coated with oil, about 3 minutes. If the rice begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, reduce heat slightly.
  • Pour in the stock, and bring the rice to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce heat to low. Cook 25 minutes more; serve.

Tips:

- To achieve the perfect texture and flavor of basmati rice, it is essential to rinse it thoroughly before cooking. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky. - For the best results, use high-quality basmati rice. Look for long, slender grains that are free of broken pieces and impurities. - Be careful not to overcook the rice. Basmati rice is delicate and can quickly become mushy if cooked for too long. - Add garam masala to taste. Garam masala is a blend of spices that can vary in composition, so adjust the amount you use depending on your personal preference. - Garnish the rice with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Basmati rice seasoned with garam masala is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish to a variety of entrees.
