Ingredients
- 200 g white Basmati rice
- 12 fl oz water plus more for rinsing
- ½ fl oz melted ghee or extra virgin olive oil
- 3 g kosher salt
Instructions
- Measure out all the ingredients.
- Pour the rice into a strainer and rinse under running water until the water runs clear.
- Transfer the rice into the rice cooker and mix in the melted ghee (or extra virgin olive oil). Use a spoon or spatula to coat every grain.
- Sprinkle with salt and mix again.
- Pour the water over the rice and flatten out the top of the rice so the rice lays flat.
- Follow the instructions for your rice cooker. My rice cooker has a basic “rice” setting that I press and press the “start” button.
- After the rice has finished cooking, leave it to rest for 10 minutes without opening the lid.
- After 10 minutes, open the lid and fluff with a rice paddle.
