BASMATI RICE
Steps:
- Cook the butter and onions over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and toss until all of the grains are coated with the butter. Add the water and salt, cover and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the scallions and parsley, fluff with a fork, and serve.
HERBED BASMATI RICE
Steps:
- Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low, stir once, and simmer, covered tightly, for 15 minutes. (I need to pull the pot half off the burner to keep it from boiling over.) Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill, scallions, and pepper. Fluff with a fork, and serve warm.

HERBED BASMATI RICE
This is a recipe I got out of Cooking Light Magazine. I thought it tasted awesome especially since it is also good for you!! I made a few changes from the original recipe: I skipped the olive oil and only used cooking spray, skipped the added salt, and the fresh basil (as I didn't have any available). The only other change that I made was I added the onions to the pan at the beginning with the rice and garlic. I thought that it turned out great and think I will make it the same way next time.

BASMATI RICE, SWEET
My Indian friend gave me this from his mothers chefs cookbook. Its wonderful. People always fail with rice. The secret is in the PAN, and amount of water used. Steam cooks rice.You can use the same method for plain basmati too. just using a little oil.

Steps:
- First soak rice in tepid water min 10 mins (tepid gets rid of any starch quicker. I use a sieve immersed in a pan of water). Rinse through. Leave to drain 10 mins more.
- In an enamelled cast iron pan(18 or 20 cm Le creuset is perfect) gently fry onions in oil until brown and soft but NOT burned.
- This should take around 15 minutes Then add cinnamon cardamoms and cloves. When cloves begin to swell add sugar. Gently fry until sugar starts to caramelise. Then add cumin and fry 1 min more.
- Stir in rice and mix until it takes on color.
- Have a kettle of boiling water ready and add just sufficient to cover rice by 1cm. Add salt and stir once.
- Crank up the heat to high. Place lid on pan and DO NOT TOUCH! When jet of steam appears count 2 mins and then reduce to medium for 3 mins more. Then reduce to absolute minimum for 10 more minutes At this point you can lift lid and fluff. (add a few tsps of water if very dry). Replace lid, TURN OFF and leave 10 mins more. You can also pop in low oven if a little sticky. Normally none of these remedial steps are necessary but can get you out of trouble if you got it wrong!
- Remove hard spices before eating.
- Serve on its own, with a favorite curry or veg. For plain rice just leave out the spices.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Basmati rice is a long-grain rice that is perfect for this dish. It has a light, fluffy texture and a slightly nutty flavor.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove the starch and prevents it from becoming sticky.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will add a lot of flavor to the rice. Use a homemade stock if you can, or a good quality store-bought stock.
- Sauté the onions and herbs: Sautéing the onions and herbs in butter before adding them to the rice helps to bring out their flavor.
- Cook the rice according to package directions: Be sure to follow the package directions for cooking the rice. This will ensure that the rice is cooked properly.
- Fluff the rice with a fork: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.

This Basmati Rice with Sweet Onions and Summer Herbs is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, fluffy, and flavorful, and the sweet onions and herbs add a touch of sweetness and freshness. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
