How to cook basmati (long-grain) rice.
For 2 cups of basmati rice:
----
Rinse your two cups of rice in a bowl in the sink twice. Gotta make absolute sure it's clean.
Drain the bowl of the water. Pour a little less than 2 cups of water into the bowl. Maybe 1 and a half? Pour one quarter of a tablespoon or one half a teaspoon of salt into bowl.
----
Put two tablespoons vegetable oil in a small pot. Heat for 1 minute. (There's rancidity in all oils; this process gets
rid of it so your rice doesn't smell like crap)
If your stove has a range of 1 to 10, it should be on 5.
Pour bowl's contents into pot as soon as that minute ends.
Keep heating at 5. Wait until rice has absorbed water. When that happens (you'll know), turn heat down to minimum.
Leave for 15-20 minutes on low heat. Consume with vigor.
