Information
Recipe For cooking White basmati Rice
White Basmati Rice (2 Servings)
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 20 mins
Ingredients:
-
½ cup white Basmati rice (rinsed well)
-
¾ cup water (or broth for extra flavor)
-
½ tbsp butter or ghee (optional, for richness)
-
¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
-
Optional: 1 cardamom pod, 1 clove, or bay leaf (for fragrance)
Instructions:
-
Rinse the rice:
-
Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear (removes excess starch for fluffier grains).
-
-
Soak (optional but recommended):
-
Soak rice in water for 15–20 mins, then drain. (Reduces cooking time and improves texture.)
-
-
Cook:
-
In a small saucepan, melt butter/ghee (if using) over medium heat.
-
Add drained rice and optional spices (cardamom, clove). Sauté 1 min to toast lightly (enhances aroma).
-
Add ¾ cup water and salt. Bring to a full boil.
-
Immediately reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 12–15 mins (no peeking!).
-
-
Rest & fluff:
-
Turn off heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 mins. Then fluff gently with a fork.
-
Yield: ~1.5 cups cooked rice (ideal for 2 servings).
Pro Tips:
-
Water ratio: 1:1.5 (rice to water) for white Basmati.
-
For extra-long grains: Use a wide, shallow pan and avoid stirring while cooking.
-
Rice cooker method: Use same ratios and the "white rice" setting.
-
Leftovers? Reheat with a sprinkle of water and cover to restore moisture.
