Ingredients for 4 people as a side dish

• 1 cup (220 g) basmati rice
• 1 ½ cups water
• ½ tsp salt (to taste)
• some ghee for serving (optional)

Instructions

Wash the rice several times in cold water until the water remains clear. Soak in cold water for at least 10 minutes, then drain in a sieve.

Den Reis, das Wasser und Salz in einen großen Topf geben.

Stir with a ladle or wooden spoon.

Put a glass lid on and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cook the rice covered for 10 minutes.

Then remove the pot from the heat and let the rice sit for another 10 minutes.

Shortly before serving, if desired, drizzle a few drops of ghee over the rice and fluff the rice lightly with a fork.

Tipps

• Während des Kochvorgangs, wirst du wo das Wasser kocht, sich Kraterblasen im Reis bilden sehen. Mit der Zeit werden die Blasen weniger, das heißt, dass der Reis das Wasser aufnimmt.
• Wenn du befürchtest, dass nicht genügend Wasser im Topf ist, kannst du den Topf etwas neigen. Wenn der Reis zur Seite gleitet, siehst du, ob sich noch Wasser darunter befindet.
