Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use a tight-fitting lid to prevent the steam from escaping while cooking the rice.
  • Do not stir the rice too much while it is cooking, as it can break the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • If you do not have Basmati rice, you can use any long-grain rice like Jasmine or Carolina.
