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:

1. Rinse the rice:

   • Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until it runs clear (removes excess starch).

2. Soak (optional but recommended for better texture):

   • Soak rice in water for 20–30 mins, then drain. (Reduces cooking time and improves fluffiness.)

3. 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!).

4. 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.
