Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan for cooking the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch from the rice, which can make it gummy.
  • Use the correct ratio of water to rice. For basmati rice, the ratio is 1:1.5. This means that for every cup of rice, you will need 1.5 cups of water.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
  • Serve the rice immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
