Simple Basmati Rice

You will need:

  • 1 cup Basmati rice
  • 2 cups pure water
  • 1/4 tsp rock salt (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsps ghee (optional)

Wash the rice thoroughly by rinsing it several times. Drain.

Bring the water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot.

Add the rice, salt and ghee, and stir once to mix.

Turn heat down to low, cover the pot and let the rice cook for 20 minutes. Do not stir. When done, the water should all be gone and the rice grains tender but separate.

Remove from heat and fluff gently with a fork.

Enjoy hot with dhal and/or vegetables.

Ghee: The Golden Cooking
Oil of Ayurveda

Ghee is the cooking oil of choice in ayurveda. It is made by cooking butter to remove all the milk-solids and water, so that what's left is a pure golden oil with a royal flavor and aroma. Once you have cooked with ghee, you'll never go back to using oil or butter again! Ghee can be used for sautéing, stir-frying, deep-frying, baking, for popcorn, or as a spread. It's so flavorful that you'll need much less ghee than butter or other kinds of oil.
