I have not been able to make Basmati rice until now. Not even with my Persian friend's help! Thank You!!!

This is a basic white rice that goes with virtually every meal. I used it as a side with Blackened Tilapia and steamed green beans. Leftovers worked well to create Chocolate Rice Pudding.

Thank you! This was the perfect easy recipe for my first time at cooking Basmati rice. It turned out perfectly and the entire family loved it!
