Ingredients
| Basmati rice (dry) | 1½ cup |
| Water | 2¼ cup |
| Salt (optional) | ½ tsp |
Instructions
- Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess starch for fluffy, separate grains.
- Add rinsed rice and water (plus salt if using) to a pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover tightly and cook for 15 minutes, do not lift the lid.
- Remove from heat. Let steam, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
