Hi Steven I went away and followed your instructions for cooking the basmati rice. I was going to question you regarding your comment about checking the rice after a minute and a half but I thought no lets just follow this recipe to the letter. I washed basmati (it was tilda) 4 until it was clear. Poured i and a half appx litre of still spring water into rice after soaking rice for 30 mins. Brought water to the boil turned heat down after 3 mins simmer and within 3 mins rice had expanded and was ready. I now wont have to bring rice to the boil then simmer on low heat for 13 mins and take off heat and leave for another 13 mins .(you have saved me all that effort and I have a fluffier lighter rice. Again many thanks for sharing and saving my quite a long ceremony every time I cook rice. Your rice and now my rice is as good as any indian restaurant. P.S. i ONCE SAW AT THE BACK OF AN INDIAN RESTAURANT THE CHEF TOSSING THE RICE INTO THE AIR FROM A LARGE CIRCULAR SEIVE i NOW KNOW HE WAS GETTING SOME AIR INTO THE RICE

You are a genius! I have tried to cook rice for years, and it has been terrible more often than not--underdone, overdone, gummy, etc. I developed a real rice-phobia! Followed your instructions to a T, and it was perfect. Hoping it wasn't just luck, but I doubt it. I think you've probably just given me a foolproof method of cooking rice!! It was tender, each grain separate...perfect. Maybe the lemon juice is the secret? I don't care, I'm just happy I can finally make delicious rice. The only thing I might change next time is to add more salt than suggested. But thank you for a wonderful video.

@korakcrystall1308 6 лет назад

putting some white oil in the boiling water will help to prevent sticking of rice. You can also add whole garam masala to have great essence.

@kwizmon 5 лет назад

That's a myth like it is with pasta. Oil floats on top of the water so it doesn't really do anything. A better way is to heat some oil in a pan and fry the rice a little first and then add the water.

@prakashkumarsingh708 4 года назад

nope.... oil just suppresses frothing, doesn't help with sticking part as it just floats on top.

Wild rice is good though but its apples and oranges, compared to other white rices its far superior with its flavor and aroma, I like how they age it too, sticky rice has its place for deserts desserts desssssserts, but I don't like deiserts, and this rice is the ticket, a lot of people are blind to the concept but you clearly are not, thank you for your participation to enlighten people on the lightest of rice.

@countkostaki 3 года назад

Is soaking the rice beforehand really necessary if you are using the excess water method? I have only ever rinsed and soaked the rice if I've used the absorption method, I must admit I do find the excess water method the grains do remain more seperate, but it doesn't emulate as much what you find in the Indian restaurants. Have you done a comparison with rinsing and soaking or just boiling the rise using the method of cooking that you've shown here?

@StevenHeapRecipes 3 года назад

It was a while since I made this video. Soaking rice for 30 minutes or even overnight help the rice cook evenly and reduces cooking time. I pay quite a lot of money for my rice so its important to cook it to optimum levels. Cheaper rice has less variables but I buy the best and respect the cooking process to get the best results.

@Raul28153 2 года назад

the biggest pan I have is 20 gallons. Maybe suggest the ways you will serve it. I'd think in a little pile with a pat of butter some salt and pepper. I don't normally eat rice as a stand-alone side. It's either in a paella or for sashimi or some other dish where the rice plays a supporting role.

@StevenHeapRecipes 2 года назад

As it's basmati I wouldn't recommend shaping it in a mould like alot of other rice dishes from various countries. Direct serving is best for basmati, if it's cooked well it'll look great plonked onto a plate.

mundo b49 as long as it's a higher called '1121' it doesn't matter. This is a rice with the longest grains in the world. Read the small print on the packet and you will find. Some brands like; Dawat or Kohinoor do 1121 😉
