basmati rice

Rinse measured rice 1-2 times to remove extra starch; drain.

Place washed rice in a heavy saucepan, add measured water, oil and salt.

Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until water is reduced to slightly below the rice level, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover and simmer 20 minutes.

Do not uncover while cooking.

Fluff with fork and serve.
