This is a basic white rice that goes with virtually every meal. I used it as a side with Blackened Tilapia and steamed green beans. Leftovers worked well to create Chocolate Rice Pudding.

Excellent! This is exactly how I make my rice and it turns out perfect everytime. You've got the measurements down pat. Basmati is our favourite brand too. Three Cheers for this recipe!
