Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the basmati rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 1/2 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains.
