Information
Recipe For cooking Brown Basmati rice
Brown Basmati Rice (for 2 servings)
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 30–35 mins | Total Time: ~40 mins
Ingredients:
-
½ cup brown Basmati rice (rinsed well)
-
1¼ cups water (or vegetable/chicken broth for extra flavor)
-
½ tbsp oil or butter (optional, prevents sticking)
-
¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
-
Rinse the rice:
-
Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until it runs clear (removes excess starch).
-
-
Soak (optional but recommended for better texture):
-
Soak rice in water for 20–30 mins, then drain. (Reduces cooking time and improves fluffiness.)
-
-
Cook:
-
In a small saucepan, heat oil/butter (optional), then add drained rice and toast for 1 min (enhances nutty flavor).
-
Add 1¼ cups water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 30–35 mins (no peeking!).
-
-
Rest & fluff:
-
Turn off heat and let it sit, covered, for 5–10 mins. Then fluff with a fork.
-
Yield: ~1.5 cups cooked rice (perfect for 2 servings).
Tips for Perfect Brown Basmati Rice:
-
Water ratio: 1:2.5 (rice to water) for brown Basmati vs. 1:1.5 for white.
-
Toasting the rice in oil before boiling adds depth.
-
Add aromatics (bay leaf, cardamom, garlic) while cooking for extra flavor.
-
For a rice cooker: Use the same ratios and the "brown rice" setting.
