I tried this recipe several times with the basmati rice I usually get from the bulk section of the supermarket and it never turned out for me. So I went online and ordered some "authentic basmati rice from the foot hills of the Himalayas". It turned out PERFECTLY! Just wanted to share in case anyone else was struggling with getting the perfect rice.

I’m Mexican and love cooking. I have never cooked anything but Mexican Food so I’m here watching and learning your techniques. I’ve cooked rice all my life and have no issues. Basmati rice is a different technique and really excited to try it. You are Such a great teacher. Love your calm voice and you explain things very simple. Im excited to try Indian cuisine. I am attempting to cook creamy Chicken Curry with potatoes and pineapple on top of basmati rice (the restaurant here calls it Bollywood Chicken).

Thank you for this video. I’ve now made perfect basmati rice three times in a row using these tips. Rice seems simple, but it’s one of the trickiest foods to cook! It was always hit-or-miss for me. Now it’s consistently just right. (3:25, 5:18) Rice:Water = 1:2 Bring water to a boil first, then add rice. Bring it back up to a good simmer/light boil, then cover (not quite all the way). Cook on medium heat for 5 mins. Check it, then let cook for another 4-5 mins. Take off heat. Let it rest for 5 mins. Then open/fluff.

Would that be due to not high enough simmering (I'm maybe cooking it a bit too low)? Just made a batch with bay leaves, 2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp fennel seed, 1 tsp oregano, 1 cinnamon stick,1/2 tsp chili flakes, fresh garlic, diced tomatoes, chicken broth (VS water) and a can of chick peas. Fresh chives and cilantro in at the end.

Hi 🙂! Your Recipe for Basmati Rice looks Superb 😋😋😋!! TYFS. The first time I ever heard of Basmati Rice was from a friends' mom. She was cooking a pot of it & I told her that I smelled Popcorn. She said she was not cooking Popcorn & was making Basmati Rice. Since then, a luvluvluv of mine 🥰! I learned of Cardamom in VA, USA @ a Mediterranean Restaurant. I bought their Homemade Roti. I assumed the dark seed-like spots were a spice. The Baker told me they were Cardamom. I luvluvluv Cardamom. I put it in my Coffee, Tea & sometimes just pop the seeds in my mouth. 😍😍. I was wondering why you put the Cardamom Pods & Seeds in your Recipe?? I always break the Pod when I use them, maybe that is not necessary??? Have a WONDERFUL day, ALL day long!!! 🙂
