Basmati rice is a long grain and extremely aromatic rice grown in Northern India. It is one of the best varieties of rice available in the world. The name basmati is derived from the sanskrit word Vasmati which means "fragrant".
Cooking the perfect Basmati Rice is the key to having the best biryani, pulaos and fried rice. While basmati rice can be cooked in various ways but today I'm sharing the best way to make in rice cookers.
If you are a regular user of Rice Cookers, you will agree with me that while normal rice gets perfectly cooked, it's the Basmati Rice that doesn't come out well. After number of failed attempts and trying out various proportions of rice:water ratio, I have finally succeeded in getting the perfectly cooked basmati rice with grains separated. And ever since I have discovered it, I have started cooking all my biryanis in rice cooker itself which is more convenient than going through the traditional method of boiling bulk water and cooking rice to 90% and finally draining the water. Aah, life made finally easier!!!
It's pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it.
