Perfect Basmati Rice

Perfect Basmati Rice , By www.uniquegiftstips.com .

This recipe shows you how to make perfect rice every time using basmati, jasmine, enriched long grain, or brown rice. There's a simple trick to it!

Total Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients :

• 1 cup Indian basmati rice
• 1-3/4 cups water
• 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions :

• Place the rice in medium bowl and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Using your hands, gently swish the grains to release any excess starch. Carefully pour off the water, leaving the rice in the bowl. Repeat four times, or until the water runs almost clear. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain the rice.
• In a medium pot, bring the water, butter, salt, and rice to a boil. Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until all of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. If the rice is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water and continue cooking for a few minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This rice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Putting it in a flat layer in sealable plastic bags works well as it will take up less space in the freezer.) No need to thaw before reheating; remove it from the freezer and reheat in the microwave with 1 to 2 Tbsp. of water.
