PLAIN BASMATI RICE
Madhur Jaffrey shares the easiest way to cook basmati rice, also known as saaday basmati chawal. Salt is generally not added, as it is meant to be eaten with well-seasoned food, such as Jaffrey's Chicken with Roasted Coriander in Coconut-Curry Sauce.

Steps:
- Wash rice in several changes of water; drain and put in a bowl. Cover generously with water and let soak 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bring 2 3/4 cups water to a boil in a heavy ovenproof pan with a tight-fitting lid. Add rice, stir, and bring back to a boil. Cover tightly (use a layer of foil between lid and pan, crinkling edges, if needed, to get a tight seal) and place in oven; bake 30 minutes. Remove and let rice stand, undisturbed, 10 minutes. Fluff up grains with a fork; serve. Rice can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.

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.

Steps:
- Pick the rice clean and wash several times. Drain thoroughly and place in a 2 1/2-quart microwave-proof dish. Add 2 1/4 cups of water and mix well.
- Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt microwave carousel oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed and the top of the rice is covered with steamy holes. Stir twice during the cooking time.
- Cover and continue cooking at 100 percent power for 4 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and soft. Remove from the oven and set aside, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover, lightly fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
