Note
- Buy good quality basmati rice – Nici used Indian Gate brand as the grains are long and slender. – To cook perfect rice using the absorption method, remember the golden rules: Use twice as much water to uncooked rice (2:1) and salt the water well. Bring to the boil, stir once, then leave the lid on and simmer for 12 minutes and leave to stand. Uncooked rice makes three times the amount of cooked, ie 1 cup makes 3 cups cooked.
