Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 cups basmati rice

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a bowl. Cover with cold water, stirring the rice gently. Pour out the dirty water. Do this 4-5 times. Now cover well with fresh water and leave to soak for 30 minutes (longer will not hurt). Drain and leave in a sieve set over a bowl to drain some more.
  • Put the drained rice in a heavy pan that has a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, turn heat to very, very low, and simmer gently for 25 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, remove rice with a slotted spoon, breaking up the lumps gently with the back of the spoon.
