How to cook perfect Basmati rice every time | Restaurant quality & fluffy Basmati rice| Honest Cooks

I just tried this and it turned out great!
I was a bit concerned that the rice might still be a bit too firm after removing it from the heat but I needn't have worried. After letting it steam for 7 minutes like you mentioned, I ended up with lovely fluffy rice. I will be making it this way in future. Thanks so much for sharing.

your basmati rice is golden which means you are using sella basmati, its easier too cook it because it can handle more water and have a harder time sticking

Thank you. Now for dinner😊

Nice my method for basmati rice is:
Rinse the rice until water runs clear then soak rice for at least 1 hour.
Then put rice into saucepan, add 1.5 cup water for every cup of rice, then get in high heat. For every cup of rice, I add 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp ghee (I really like ghee but you can use butter or olive oil). I also like to add some paprika, coriander powder, and turmeric if I’m making yellow rice. Once rice comes to a boil, give everything a stir, put on low heat, and put a lid on in for 12 minutes. Take off heat and allow to steam for 10 minutes before uncovering pot. This is a traditional method so no need to strain as all water will be absorbed. Enjoy!

just so you know Korean rice you DONT STIR.

Well, I am very happy to report that I made this rice using this method and it really is the best rice I've ever made. Thank you so much for changing my life in a small but significant way. Keep up the good work.❤

My rice is OK but just that. Not great and certainly not restaurant quality. I'm going to use this method tonight. I will try to remember to post my results here. Thanks for an excellent video.

The real question that I am not seeing is, what long grain brand/name/type of basmati rise are you using?

DONT DISCARD THE WATER
RINSE YOUR HAIR IN IT X

Wow! My mind is completely blown! Definitely trying this tonight!

How do people cook it not to get the restaurant grade rice? 😂 ...not mocking but really want to know how else could rice be cooked. 🤔

whaaaaaat!?!?! i gotta try this

Can I steam it instantly in rice cooker instead? And what kind of seasoning in there you put ? Do I need to add some oil to make it silk?

basmati rice is the best rice on the planet, i only eat basmati rice because no other rice compares to the texture or taste.

How much water and rice sista explain yoself

Hey,
I tried this method, and it actually worked so well! I took one cup of rice. I didn’t measure my water, but I just added a little over 1 inch as you suggested in the video. I first covered and boiled. Then once it came to a rolling boil as in your video, I open the lid and I stirred 2-3 times in intervals. After 10 minutes, I tasted one grain of rice, and when it tasted almost cooked, I switched off the heat, drained the water and let the rice steam. It turned out SO SO fluffy! I can’t thank you enough for this video 💙💙💙

never eaten those. Hope God let me afford this oneday.❤

So like normal rice? Lol

This was the best rice cooking technique I’ve ever seen. It required no measurements or timers and it came out perfectly. I’m so thankful I tried it and will continue using this method from now on

Complete fail for me :(. I’m jut a person that needs times and actual measurements. I overcooked it! I also made two cups of rice and the pot was too small! It fluffed up so much! Hopefully next time I won’t quit trying lol

As Gordon would say “do not lift that fucking lid”

What did you use to flavor it?

Tried this, I got rice pudding

Why bother checking the water level if you're going to strain it anyway? Just asking! I try to cook it as one of the top commenters sugggests and put just the right amount of water and leave it alone, comes out great, but maybe I'm missing something?

Pls contact me for promotion my product

Why so much stirring? Why drain it? Just do 2 cups of water per cup of rice. Bring to a boil and then simmer in low heat, leave it ALONE until you can see the water has all been absorbed. It’s a pretty simply process that does not need you to be involve. It literally cooks itself perfectly in 15-20 minutes.

What is she seasoning with

Can you mention the estimated time for cooking rice ?

Stupid! Season with what?!!!

Can you do the same with brown basmati rice?

Season with what? That's the most importat!

If you're just cooking the rice like pasta with the intention of straining the water after a certain point, you dont need to measure water that much. You should also salt the water. You should also let the rice firm up uncovered.

So stupid! Dwo cups of water per one cup of Basmati. These people are the worst 😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t wash it don’t do anything else.

Turned out great for Jasmine Rice too! Thank you!

As afghani we never cook basmati rice it get mashed very easily we always use sella rice . Thanks for tip

how long does it take to cook it

Uncle Roger will not be happy

Came out perfect..... 😊❤

BTW...the study and method you referenced, shows this technique removes 70-80% of arsenic in white rice. That is an incredible thing for those who eat a lot of rice.

So how long do you cook the rice without the lid with in bubbly boiling water?

Tried this last night couldn't believe it works so well. Absolutely tender and fluffy. I have a book on rice, it uses two methods for basmati. The absorption method and the lot of water method. Both confusing and inconsistent.

I made these rice ! I bought the rice you have listed it on Amazon ! But after I cooked it come brown ! Now I want to know may why ! Also is there any direferent one that I have to buy to be white !?

Boiled ? no thanks

Who else loves fluffy rice as a side dish to their favorite meals?

Stirring activates starch and will make your rice gloppy.

Want to understand something, there is 2 way of cooking rice, 1- you put water and the water be dried out , 2- is to make it like spaghetti ,boil the water tell the ricr cook then throw the water, dose it depends on type of rice, thanks

i need your cooking music song please 🎵 and thank you..
