Description - Step 1
Prepare the rice
Wash and soak basmati rice for about 10 minutes. Pour 4 to 5 cups of water into a large pot and bring it to a boil. Now add the soaked and drained rice to the pot. Pour 1 tsp of oil to prevent the rice from turning sticky. Mix well and cook for 10 minutes or until the rice is al dente. Drain off rice in a colander, let it cool completely, and fluff it with a fork.
