πŸ”₯ Foolproof Basmati: The "No More Sticky Clumps!" Method

5 Steps to Basmati Bliss:

  1. Rinse & Repeat: Gently rinse your BuyOrganic Basmati Rice 3–4 times until water runs mostly clear. This removes excess surface starch.
  2. The Patient Soak: Submerge rinsed rice in cold water for 20-30 minutes to hydrate grains evenly.
  3. The Golden Ratio & Seasoning: Use 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water. Add a good pinch of salt.
  4. Boil, Cover, Simmer (No Peeking!): Bring to a boil, give one quick stir, cover, and reduce heat to lowest. Simmer for 10–12 minutes.
  5. 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.
  • Use veggie broth instead of water for added depth.
