BEFORE BOILING:

Basmati rice before cooking steep for 30 minutes and then rinse with cold water until bestowed when the water becomes clear. After rinsing and soaking the rice dry it possible.

HOW TO BOIL:

Put basmati rice into cold unsalted water (1 cup of rice to 1.5-2 cups of water) and bring to a boil uncovered. You can use broth instead of water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the rice absorbs the water. Simmer, covered, with a slightly ajar cover until the "craters" and stew under a tight lid. Bitten cooked grain of rice is al dente - firm, but evenly cooked.

ONCE BOILED:

After cooking, we leave it for 10 minutes, then pour the cold water and stir gently.

SERVING TIPS:

Basmati rice is ideal for salads and as an additive to meat and fish.

Bon appétit!
