Description

Basmati rice is practically a staple in Indian cuisine; it's aromatic, fluffy, and every grain is a joy to eat. But getting it right can be tricky — if you don't get the proportions or timing just right, you can end up with an overcooked, very sticky rice mess! That's why I'm happy to share my tried-and-true method on how to cook basmati rice - perfect and fluffy every time.

Ingredients

Instructions

Thoroughly wash, drain and soak the basmati rice for 30 mins.
Place the saucepan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring the water to boil.
Add the soaked, drained rice to boiling water, cover and cook in simmer for 12 - 15 mins.
The water should be absorbed, and the rice grains should be tender and fluffy. If the rice is still slightly undercooked, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
Let the cooked rice sit covered for 5 more mins. After 5 mins, fluff the rice with a fork for a perfectly cooked basmati rice.

Notes

If cooking on a stovetop, use a wide bottom pan when cooking as it will help the grains to absorb water and expand further.
Adding a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice to the cooking rice as adding a small amount of acidity to the cooking water helps break down starches and prevents the grains from sticking together.
If possible, use a tight-fitting lid to keep the rice covered when cooking, and avoid removing the lid during this time to prevent steam from escaping.
Remember to keep the rice covered after cooking. This helps to keep the moisture and prevent it from drying out.
