Description

Perfect fluffy Basmati rice, steamed and flavored with butter!  Stir some cilantro in after fluffing for a fresh, bright note.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the water under cold water for about 1 minute.  Transfer to a saucepan with a lid; cover with water and add 1 tablespoon of butter and the salt.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.  Check the rice after 15 minutes; if it is not tender, continue cooking for another 5 minutes, adding a little more water if necessary.  Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.  Fluff with a fork right before serving and stir in the chopped cilantro.
