Ingredients
Sea salt
350g basmati rice
Method
-
Put a large pan of salted water on a high heat and bring to the boil • Rinse the rice in a colander under running water for about 1 minute, or until the water runs clear (this will stop the grains sticking together later) • Add your rice to the boiling water and wait for the grains to start dancing around • From that point, boil for 5 minutes.
-
Drain the rice in a colander • Pour 2.5cm of water into the pan, put it back on the heat and bring it to the boil again, then turn down to a simmer • Cover the rice in the colander with foil or a lid • Place the colander on top of the pan of simmering water and let the rice steam over it for 8-10 minutes • Remove from the heat and if you’re ready, serve immediately • If not, leave the foil or lid on and put aside until ready to serve – it should stay warm for about 20 minutes.
