instruction: How do I cook basmati rice?
response: To cook basmati rice perfectly, first rinse the desired amount of rice until the water runs clear. Then, in a saucepan with a tight fitting lid and over medium heat, add rice and water in a 1C rice to 1.5C water or other liquid (like broth) ratio. Bring the pot to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover and let cook for 15 minutes. Let the rice sit for another 10 minutes off of the heat with the lid on and the fluff with a fork and enjoy! To make the rice more flavorful, you can add cumin or other spices and salt.
