Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Choose premium basmati rice, flavorful garlic, and aromatic herbs for the best results.
Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
Toast the rice before cooking: This adds a nutty flavor and helps the rice cook evenly.
Use the right ratio of water to rice: A good rule of thumb is 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
Cook the rice over low heat: This allows the rice to cook gently and evenly.
Let the rice rest before serving: This helps the rice absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.
Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your preference.
Garnish the rice before serving: Fresh herbs, toasted nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil add color and flavor.
