Simple Basmati Rice


Basmati rice is nutty and flavorful.

Basmati rice is nutty and flavorful, and helpful for balancing Vata and Pitta.

You will need:

  • 1 cup Basmati rice
  • 2 cups pure water
  • 1/4 tsp rock salt (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsps ghee (optional)


Wash the rice thoroughly by rinsing it several times. Drain.

 

Bring the water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot.

 

Add the rice, salt and ghee, and stir once to mix.

 

Turn heat down to low, cover the pot and let the rice cook for 20 minutes. Do not stir. When done, the water should all be gone and the rice grains tender but separate.

 

Remove from heat and fluff gently with a fork.

 

Enjoy hot with dhal and/or vegetables.
