Η μέθοδος

Βήμα προς βήμα

  1. 1

    Place the basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water for several minutes until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent sticky rice.

    Περίπου 3 λ.

    Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Rinsing is crucial for achieving fluffy, separate grains.

  2. 2

    Transfer the rinsed rice to a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

    Περίπου 1 λ.

  3. 3

    Add the water and salt to the saucepan with the rice.

  4. 4

    Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, uncovered. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.

    Περίπου 5 λ.

  5. 5

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the saucepan tightly with the lid, and cook for 12 minutes without lifting the lid.

    Περίπου 12 λ.

    Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Do not peek or stir during this stage, as it releases steam and slows cooking.

  6. 6

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, still covered, for at least 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and absorb any remaining moisture.

    Περίπου 10 λ.

    Σημείωση του μάγειρα: This resting period is essential for perfectly cooked rice.

  7. 7

    After resting, remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
