Cooking Steps
Rinse the Basmati Rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures that the rice is fluffy.
In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed Basmati Rice, water. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 5-10 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
