Thank you for the thorough video! Notes to self: 4 tsp oil 4 bay leaf 4 clove 8 crushed cardamom pods 2 tsp cumin seeds 2 tsp salt 2 cups rinsed basmati rice 4 cups water Cover half way, med heat, cook approx 10 min, check water level on the bottom of the pan, let rest 5 min.

@nazder776 Год назад

4 bay leaves 🍃

@j.e.k.6014 Год назад

@@nazder776 Her adaptation is a 1/4 recipe, hence only 1 of 4 leaves. That's also why all the other measurements are 75% less than the video.

@lilyt5855 8 месяцев назад

@@brent829I was only making 1/4 of the recipe. I didn't expect anyone else to even see my comment, but since they have I think I'll update the amounts so no one gets confused.

I tried this recipe several times with the basmati rice I usually get from the bulk section of the supermarket and it never turned out for me. So I went online and ordered some "authentic basmati rice from the foot hills of the Himalayas". It turned out PERFECTLY! Just wanted to share in case anyone else was struggling with getting the perfect rice.

@veemalgourdeale3965 Год назад

That is delightful and look forward to applying this method. Awesome

@themodernshoe2466 Год назад

Some rice will have already been processed so they don't require rinsing. This may be the problem for some people.

@terkina08 2 года назад

I’m Mexican and love cooking. I have never cooked anything but Mexican Food so I’m here watching and learning your techniques. I’ve cooked rice all my life and have no issues. Basmati rice is a different technique and really excited to try it. You are Such a great teacher. Love your calm voice and you explain things very simple. Im excited to try Indian cuisine. I am attempting to cook creamy Chicken Curry with potatoes and pineapple on top of basmati rice (the restaurant here calls it Bollywood Chicken).

@malaydice7095 Год назад

Well done to you with having an open mind of different cultures

@AnovaLisaDragonfly 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. I’ve now made perfect basmati rice three times in a row using these tips. Rice seems simple, but it’s one of the trickiest foods to cook! It was always hit-or-miss for me. Now it’s consistently just right. (3:25, 5:18) Rice:Water = 1:2 Bring water to a boil first, then add rice. Bring it back up to a good simmer/light boil, then cover (not quite all the way). Cook on medium heat for 5 mins. Check it, then let cook for another 4-5 mins. Take off heat. Let it rest for 5 mins. Then open/fluff.

Absolutely delicious Monica! I have just made your rice. Very easily explained! Yesterday I made an Anglo-Indian Chicken Curry demonstrated by Bridget White as I discovered her last year. My parents lived on Pakistan from 1947 for 10 years. So I grew up on my mother's Anglo-Indian and Indian food. But she has passed over. So I am enjoying watching you as you make it sound very easy to cook Indian food. Thank you 😊

I might give this another go. My rice was still a little crunchy. I halved the amount of ingredients as it was for 2 but it was still a little salty. Nearly there though.

@automaticraccon 2 года назад

This is great. First time I see it explained in detail with the spices. I think some indian restaurants add a few whole cardamom seeds and some fennel seeds at the very end (maybe while resting so they heat up a little?). Also raisins and almond sticks seem to get added sometime. What is your take on this?

@fevkin 3 года назад

Great Monica, I'm cooking it now as I felt it would go well with chilli non carne. I always cook my rice ultra low flame once it's come to the boil as per my first cooking lesson from my Japanese boyfriend many moons ago. Of course, it was a short grain rice we were using but it hasn't failed me yet with basmati

@TheSpiceClub 3 года назад

Hi Fevkin! That's great to hear. As I mentioned, there are so many methods and approaches to cooking rice. No right or wrong - though this recipe is a fantastic way to infuse spices to yield incredibly aromatic and fragrant rice - let me know if you try it! 🙂 Best, Monica

@abigailvomelmo1167 2 года назад

Hi 🙂! Your Recipe for Basmati Rice looks Superb 😋😋😋!! TYFS. The first time I ever heard of Basmati Rice was from a friends' mom. She was cooking a pot of it & I told her that I smelled Popcorn. She said she was not cooking Popcorn & was making Basmati Rice. Since then, a luvluvluv of mine 🥰! I learned of Cardamom in VA, USA @ a Mediterranean Restaurant. I bought their Homemade Roti. I assumed the dark seed-like spots were a spice. The Baker told me they were Cardamom. I luvluvluv Cardamom. I put it in my Coffee, Tea & sometimes just pop the seeds in my mouth. 😍😍. I was wondering why you put the Cardamom Pods & Seeds in your Recipe?? I always break the Pod when I use them, maybe that is not necessary??? Have a WONDERFUL day, ALL day long!!! 🙂

My pleasure! I love basmati rice too. Monica

@adamthemute 2 года назад

I love this method! Perfect rice every time. Mine doesn't end up looking like yours at the end with the grains standing up though. Would that be due to not high enough simmering (I'm maybe cooking it a bit too low)? Just made a batch with bay leaves, 2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp fennel seed, 1 tsp oregano, 1 cinnamon stick,1/2 tsp chili flakes, fresh garlic, diced tomatoes, chicken broth (VS water) and a can of chick peas. Fresh chives and cilantro in at the end.

@mrslavanderblu 3 года назад

Wow. Basmati is a different animal. You could never cook jasmine rice this way. I enjoyed learning this technique and am looking forward to trying this on my next pan of basmati. Thank you for this video.

@blackgown7485 2 года назад

I need help when i make meat pilau with potatoes. It always comes out mushy...i half cook my potatoes or maybe more then i add the rice...ive never meassured my rice with pilau as its difficult because your actually adding it to the main stock with meat. Because of the potatoes when the rice starts boiling i see alot of starch building up....drives me crazy! What's the best way to prevent this from happening?

@kenduke3482 Год назад

What oil ?

@joshuajackson4742 Год назад

Love your accent, which is irrelevant but anyhow, I’m wondering how clear I need the rice water to be before cooking. I cook rice well to be fair, but I spend a stupid amount of time rinsing my rice. I wonder if I can stop washing it even if the water isn’t completely clear. How clear does the water really have to be before cooking. I like grainy and shelly fluffy rice as apposed to wet or sticky East Asian style rice. Thanks!

@BrianDeParma 2 года назад

Hello, thank you for the clear explanation! I have a couple of questions though: -Is it ok to use extra virgin olive oil? That's the only type of oil that enters my Mediterranean house... -In some other videos, people add the rice to cold water and they bring it to a boil, while you add it to boiling water. Do you think it makes a difference?
