This foolproof basmati rice recipe creates light, fluffy grains with a delicate buttery finish. By gently toasting the rice in butter before simmering, you enhance its natural nutty aroma while ensuring each grain remains distinct and tender. It is a fundamental skill for any home cook, transforming a simple store-cupboard staple into a fragrant and elegant accompaniment that elevates your favourite homemade meals.
As a versatile vegetarian side dish, this rice is the ideal partner for aromatic lentil dahls, spicy vegetable curries, or rich savoury stews. The addition of a little butter provides a subtle richness, though it can easily be swapped for oil for a vegan-friendly alternative. Perfectly seasoned and steamed, this method guarantees consistent results for a quick midweek dinner or a formal weekend gathering.

Ingredients for Basmati Rice
450g basmati rice (400g)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
800ml water
1 teaspoon salt
How to make Basmati Rice
Rinse rice in several changes of cold water until water runs clear. Drain well in a fine-mesh sieve. Melt butter in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, then add rice and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in water and salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered and undisturbed, 5 minutes. Fluff rice gently with a fork.
