Buttery basmati rice is a simple yet delightful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. This recipe will guide you through the process to achieve fluffy, flavorful rice every time using a few basic ingredients.
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure even cooking and to prevent the rice from burning at the bottom.
- Let the rice simmer on low heat without lifting the lid. This allows the rice to cook evenly and steam properly.
- After cooking, let the rice sit covered for about 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This resting time helps the rice to finish steaming and keeps it fluffy.
- If you want to add a bit more flavor, you can sauté the rice in the butter for a few minutes before adding the water and salt.
Enjoy your perfect batch of buttery basmati rice, a versatile side dish that complements any meal with its rich taste and fluffy texture. Whether served with curry, grilled meats, or vegetables, this rice dish is sure to be a hit.
