Perfect No Fail Basmati Rice

Best I have ever made. I put a few TBSP of oil with chopped onion and garlic in the pot first. I then fry the rice for a few minutes add chicken stock and VOILA!! PERFECT!

I used brown basmati rice and don't have a pot that has a clear lid so I did have to peek a few times to see if the water was evaporated. It took about 10 minutes, but next time I'll time it. Turned out perfect anyways. Salt and butter would be good in the water.

This really was perfect, no fail basmati. I love this method because I can turn the heat off and let the rice continue to steam dry while I focus on the entree portion of the meal. Thank you so much for posting this! I will always cook my rice this way from now on.

Basmati is the best, most versital variety of rice. Just the right amount of fragrance and flavor, but not overpowering as I've found Jasmine rice to be for most dishes. White and brown rice are just too bland and boring unless cooked in broth. I've never been able to make any kind of rice just right, until following this recipe. Rinsing (and rinsing some more) is the key! I followed exactly, and made the best rice ever. Served with teriyaki chicken and fresh-steamed veggies. So perfect, thank you!

This was perfect! The first time I messed it up because I started with the water boiling and had to add a lot more water. =( This time I put my rice and water in, set it to med-low, put a lid on it (with a vent, didn't hurt it) and just kept an eye on it until the water was evaporated. So good and sooo easy! Thanks so much!

I was always 'told' that you have to have at least twice the amount of liquid as rice. Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than a little nervous about trying this recipe. But...fear not fellow Doubting Thomases. This makes the most absolutely perfect rice. It took about 15 minutes or so to cook before the 5 minute 'rest' time. I wonder if this will work on other types of rice. Guess I'll find out eh. :) Thanks Stardustannie. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #34

We were given a giant bag of basmati rice so i had to cook it but, I admit to being very nervous about this! It was just as easy as everyone has said! The rice came out perfect! This is most definitely a keeper. Next time I will try cooking with chicken broth instead of water! Thanks Stardust!

Worked perfectly! I love the smell of Basmati rice. I have a feeling I'll be making this quite frequently.

This was my first Basmati rice and it turned out perfect. I only added some salt with rice and water and that's all. Thank you!

TY TY TY.... it really works. I was beginning to really think I just couldn't get rice right even after all these years. My kitchen is much too small for yet another counter top appliance, so rice cooker is just not a priority. You've saved me.

I have never tasted this kind of rice before but we just bought a big bag of it at Sams. I love my rice to be more on the dry side and this recipe turned out perfect. I worried that I would burn the bottom also, like another posted, because I couldn't see through the condensation on the glass lid. I could smell it though, after about 15 or 20 minutes of cooking and took it off the burner. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing!

It worked!!!! I, too, was a doubter, but it worked!!! I don't think I had the flame up high enuff at first, cuz it took a while. But once I adjusted it worked great. I was so nervous taking off the lid, but it was great! Thanks!!!!

This was so easy and you are right, the grains didn't stick together! We all loved this rice. I put a little butter, salt and pepper in it after fluffing. Great side dish and I will be making this again for sure. Thanks for posting, Stardustannie. :-)
