• 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water
  
• 1 cinnamon stick

Ingredients

• 400 grams Basmati Rice
  
• 625 ml Cold Water
  
• Optional rice flavoring to add during cooking
  
• Optional Herbs / Star anise / Cardamom pods / Cinnamon/ Turmeric

Instructions

1. Wash the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.

3. Bring the water to a rolling boil with the lid off. This shall take about 7 minutes.

4. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and stir the rice. Then let the rice simmer for about 8 minutes with the lid on. Do not take off the lid during this time as it will release the steam that forms during the simmering.

5. When the time is up, turn off the heat but do not take the lid off yet. Let the pan sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes before removing the lid and fluffing up the rice. This resting time will cook any left-off hard grains of rice in the residual heat.
