butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds flavor with less saturated fat.

Fill a mug with 1 cup of basmati rice.

Add 2 mugs of boiling or cold water to the rice.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Cook the rice hard for about 8-10 minutes until steam holes form on the surface.

After about 9 minutes, check the rice; it should be fluffy and not sticky.

For saffron rice, add a pinch of saffron and cover with the lid.

For salted lemon rice, add 1 or 2 salted lemons to the pot and cover with the lid.

For spiced turmeric rice, add 10 cloves, a stick of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric to the pot and cover with the lid.

After 8-10 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
