@rashida.musayeva: The Secret to Perfectly Fluffy Basmati Rice Once you try this method cooking rice you’ll never want to cook any other way. The grains turn out fluffy, separate, and aromatic — perfect with any main dish. Ingredients • 700 g basmati rice • Cold water (for soaking) • ~30 ml olive oil • Boiling water (just enough to slightly cover the rice) • ~3 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste) • 30–40 g butter • Turmeric / curcumin (to taste) Method 1. Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly until the water runs completely clear. 2. Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes. It will slightly swell. 3. Drain the rice well. 4. Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and lightly sauté the rice until the grains look glossy. 5. Add boiling water just until it slightly covers the rice. 6. Add salt. Taste the water — if it tastes pleasantly salty, it’s perfect. 7. Cover the pan with a clean cloth, place the lid on top, and cook on the lowest heat. 8. Let the rice steam for about 30 minutes. 9. Open the lid, add the butter in small pieces, gently pressing it between the rice. 10. Sprinkle turmeric (curcumin) evenly over the rice, cover again, and steam for another 10 minutes. Result: light, fluffy, perfectly separated basmati rice. #basmatirice #fluffyrice #ricelovers #homecooking #rashidamusayeva
