Cooking perfect Basmati rice is easier than you think! Here are some tips and tricks to ensure fluffy, aromatic rice every time.

First, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, which helps prevent the grains from sticking together. Next, soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes. This step helps the grains cook evenly and results in a better texture.

When it’s time to cook, use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water. For example, if you’re cooking one cup of rice, use one and a half cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time, as the steam is essential for perfectly cooked rice.

Once the cooking time is up, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Finally, fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Leysha Basmati Rice, ready to complement any meal. Happy cooking!
