This is my version on how to cook perfect rice....every grain will cooked to perfection...not one will stick together and you can make fried rice dishes right away with no problems!! Note: you will need a saucepan with clear glass lid...as there is to be no peeking! Can easily be doubled....cooking time a guesstimate.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice
1 1/4 cups water

Directions

1
Rinse rice till water runs clear, drain well.
2
In saucepan place water and rice, cover and cook over low-med flame till water looks evaporated and steam holes appear.
3
Turn of flame -- DO NOT LIFT LID!
4
Leave for 5 minutes then fluff with a fork -- your result will be perfecly cooked rice.

I was always 'told' that you have to have at least twice the amount of liquid as rice. Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than a little nervous about trying this recipe. But...fear not fellow Doubting Thomases. This makes the most absolutely perfect rice. It took about 15 minutes or so to cook before the 5 minute 'rest' time. I wonder if this will work on other types of rice. Guess I'll find out eh. Thanks Stardustannie. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #34

We were given a giant bag of basmati rice so i had to cook it but, I admit to being very nervous about this! It was just as easy as everyone has said! The rice came out perfect! This is most definitely a keeper. Next time I will try cooking with chicken broth instead of water! Thanks Stardust!

TY TY TY.... it really works. I was beginning to really think I just couldn't get rice right even after all these years. My kitchen is much too small for yet another counter top appliance, so rice cooker is just not a priority. You've saved me.
