I don't really get why people make "minute rice". It takes just as long, is easily as complicated, and tastes, quite frankly, gross. Here is a simple way to cook basmati rice, which tastes and smells about a thousand times better.
Ingredients (for about 2 people)
1 cup of basmati rice
2 cups of water
1 T. butter
1 tsp. salt
(Double for more servings; just make sure that there is exactly twice as much water as rice)
Directions
1. Wash basmati rice 3 times
2. Soak rice in water for approximately 30 minutes (it should start to look whitish, which is possible for rice, believe it or not)
3. Drain the soaking water, then add the water to cook it in
4. Put on the stove on medium, placing the salt and butter directly on top of the water
5. Allow to boil uncovered; when the water reaches just below the rice line, turn the stove down to low and cover the pot
6. Cook for an additional 10 minutes (keep covered on low heat)
7. Fluff before serving
