Notes
One thing I’ve learned when cooking basmati rice is to avoid lifting the lid halfway through cooking—it can really mess up the texture and ruin your rice.
Also, I usually use a bit less water than the recipe says. I find it helps the grains stay nice and separate, giving the rice a much better texture overall.
