How to Cook Basmati Rice Perfectly

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak for 20–30 minutes before cooking — this helps the grains elongate and cook evenly. Use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water, bring to the boil, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes. Remove from heat and rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
