Cook Basmathi Rice to perfection
How To cook Basmathi Rice



Ingredients:

  • Basmathi Rice - 3 cups
  • Salt - To taste
  • Oil - 1 tsp
  • Water  - As needed


Method: 

Take a heavy bottom pan and add water , salt , oil and bring it to a boil .
Take the basmathi rice in a bowl , wash it . Drain water and set aside for 30 minutes .
Add the rice to the water and bring the contents to a rapid boil .
Check the rice and allow it to be  cooked till soft . Cook it till 80 % done , If it is overcooked it will turn mushy .

Filter the rice using a strainer and run the rice in cold water . Fluff it with a spatula . This seperates the rice from sticking to each other .

Now the rice is cooked and ready to be made in to a fried rice or use this to make Dum Biryani .
Enjoy this rice with a curry of your choice .
