How to Make Basmati Rice in 20 Minutes

Rinse the rice well in two to three changes of clean water until the water runs clear.

In a pot, add a small piece of butter and let it melt over medium heat.

Add the drained rice and saute it in the butter for a minute or two, stirring constantly.

Add water, using twice as much water as rice (e.g., 1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water).

Add seasonings of your choice like salt or pepper and stir gently.

Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, around 2-3 out of 6.

Cover the pot and let the rice cook until all the water is absorbed, usually about 10-15 minutes.

Let the rice rest for a few minutes, fluff it with a fork, and it's ready to serve.
