How to cook basmati rice

14-Jul-2014

Despite the low popularity of tutorials on how to cook ingredients, we feel that they really are one of the best ways available to improve the consistency and abilities of the home cook. Cooking rice is indeed an easy task, but there are so many ways to achieve great results, so we simply couldn’t miss the opportunity to share our favourite way to prepare some perfectly cooked and aromatic basmati rice. I should probably mention that we have a few restaurateur Indian friends who are always amazed by the quality of our basmati rice. Well, now that you have our recipe, you’ll be able to impress any guest with no effort whatsoever.
