Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 ¼ cup water
- salt a pinch
Instructions
- Rinse the rice very well until the water runs clear.
- Add the rice to a non-stick pan, pour over one and a quarter cups of water, then add the pinch of salt.
- Place the lid on, and cook the rice on a low heat until all the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat, and leave the lid on for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice up.
- Serve hot or cold with your favourite dish.
Notes
- Use the same measuring cup for rice and water. The rice to water ration is 1: 1 ¼. So, for every cup of rice, add one and a quarter cups of water.
