The biggest mistake most people make which results in gluey rice is using the wrong rice to water ratio.

The correct rice to water ratio is 1 : 1.5 (1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water).

Most people use 1 3/4 cups of water or even 2 cups of water, AND they rinse the rice which makes it waterlogged and makes the mushy rice problem even worse.

This method I’m sharing today is simple, fuss free and yields fluffy basmati rice every time. NO RINSING RICE. No fussing with draining rice from giant pots of boiling water.

Here’s how.

How to make Basmati Rice

1. Place water and rice in saucepan;

2. Bring to simmer on medium high without the lid;

3. When entire surface is bubbly and foamy, place lid on, turn down to medium low and cook 12 minutes;

4. Remove from stove and rest 10 minutes;

5. Fluff; then

6. Serve!
