How to cook Basmati rice?
Ingredients
- 1 cup heaped basmati rice or 200 grams basmati rice
- 2 cups water or 500 ml water or add as required depending on the quality of rice
- ½ teaspoon oil (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt or add as per taste
Instructions
Prepping and soaking basmati rice
- Add 1 cup heaped basmati rice to a bowl.
- Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rice in ¾ to 1 cup water for at least 30 minutes.
- Strain the rice after 30 minutes and set it aside.
Cooking basmati rice
- Fill a wide mouth, deep-bottomed pan with 2 cups of water (500 ml). Stir in ½ tsp butter, oil, or ghee, and ¼ tsp or as per taste salt. You can skip adding the grease if you like.
- Bring the water to a boil on medium heat. Then add the rice to the boiling water.
- Stir the rice gently so that all the rice grains settle down at the bottom of the pan.
- Cover the pan with a lid and let the rice cook for about 8 minutes on a low-medium flame. This should take about 8 minutes. Add 2-3 tbsp of hot water to the rice before covering the pot if the rice looks uncooked.
- Check for doneness by pressing a rice grain between your forefinger and thumb. Alternatively, you can bite a rice grain. If the rice grain is mashed easily and does not resist biting, rice is cooked.
- After removing the pan from the heat, let the rice stand for about 5 minutes before fluffing them with a fork.
- Serve with curry or dal.
