- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- handful Coriander
- 400 ml water

- Add the drained basmati rice and sauté for about 1 minute alongside the whole spices
- Add the water and salt. Cook on high heat for 5 minutes until the water is almost evaporated
- Once the water is almost evaporated add the coriander and mix together.
- Cover the rice with a tight lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 6-8 minutes. (See note 2)

Notes
- Note 1 - Make sure to keep an eye on the cumin seeds while sautéing it, the seeds tend to burn quickly.
- Note 2 - You can add lemon juice when you add the water, this will help the rice not stick together
- Note 3 - If you don’t have a tight-fitting lid, then you can add a tea towel under the lid. This will trap the steam inside.
