Serial Cooking – Basmati Rice For One
My basic cooking lessons at home from my mother didn’t include cooking basmati rice. Rice was for making puddings, not as a substitute for potatoes.
So when I found this method of cooking basmati rice in this recipe from Lindsey Bareham, I had to try it. As it worked I’m posting it.
It may of course be a standard method, but it worked well and isn’t much more difficult than putting a packet in the microwave.
But it’s a bit more impressive, even if it is slower.
The great thing about this way of cooking rice, is that it takes twenty minutes from of virtually hands off cooking, from when the water boils, so is easy to slot into other cooking, talking with guests or drinking.
It is also very easy to scale up for a particular number of people.
