- The Golden Ratio & Seasoning: Use 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water. Add a good pinch of salt.
- Boil, Cover, Simmer (No Peeking!): Bring to a boil, give one quick stir, cover, and reduce heat to lowest. Simmer for 10β12 minutes.
- The Essential Rest & Fluff: Remove from heat (still covered) and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Gently fluff with a fork.
Elevate Your Basmati Game (Bonus Pro Tips):
- Add a splash of lemon juice for brighter grains.
- Toss in whole spices like cardamom or Bay Leaves.
