Ingredients
  

  • 300 g basmati rice
  • 450 ml cold water
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Rinse rice under cold water until it runs mostly clear.
  2. Optional: soak 20 minutes, then drain.
  3. Combine rice, water, butter and salt in a saucepan.
  4. Bring to the boil, stir once.
  5. Cover, reduce to lowest heat, cook 12 minutes without lifting the lid.
  6. Rest off the heat, lid on, for 10 minutes.
  7. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Notes

Rinse the rice thoroughly to remove surface starch.
Don’t lift the lid or stir during cooking.
Rest 10 minutes off the heat for the fluffiest result.
Cool leftover rice quickly and refrigerate within an hour.
