As promised, here’s the recipe for this awesome microwave basmati rice that I had made for dinner yesterday.
Recipe from Epicurious
Ingredients:
- 2 cups unrinsed Basmati rice
- 3 cups cold water
Preparation
Put basmati and cold water in a 3-quart microwave-safe dish and cook on high, uncovered, 15 minutes, or until steam holes appear in rice. Cover dish and cook on high 5 more minutes. Let rice stand, covered, 5 minutes and fluff with a fork. You’ll note that using the microwave shaves only five minutes off the traditional stove-top method, but faster is not the issue here. Better is.
I actually halved the recipe and used 1 cup rice, 1 1/2 cup water cooked for 7 minutes uncovered, 3 minutes covered and let stand for 5 minutes. It came out perfect, just the way I like it, fluffy and separated.
