- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2024
- This is how you make basmati rice perfectly every single time.
1. Wash your rice in cold water. Do not skip this step.
2. Get your pot heating and add some good olive oil, a clove of garlic (skin and all), star anise, and cardamom pods (pop them open first).
3. Add your washed rice to the pot and sauté it in all those fragrant ingredients for a minute or two.
4. Add room temperature water- not cold water- and bring it up to a soft boil.
5. Cook UNCOVERED for a few minutes until you start to see the rice through the water.
6. Turn down your heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Once the 10 minutes is up, turn off your stove and cover your pot (lid on) with a towel for 15 minutes. Don't open the lid.
8. Once your 15 minutes are up, plate your rice and serve it paired with your favorite toppings or proteins.
This is one of my no-fail recipes. Just follow the instructions and you'll have perfect basmati rice.

I cook my Basmati rice in cold water and it turns out perfectly light & fluffy every time.
WIIIIIIIIIIIITCHHHHHHHHH
😂jokes aside, same tbh
I wait for the water to boil then put in the basmati rice for about 12 minutes. Perfect everytime. I'll try this frying method when I make a curry dish next time.
Why you just wasting time. Hot water cooks shit faster
Exactly
Me too bro! Easy and fast. Dont forget to wash your rice well
I loved how Persian people making basmati rice with saffron and crispy rice in the bottom, is soooo delicious
Yeh , PERSIAN! Indian cultivated best rice , but Persian cooking the best! No cardamom, no star Annis , no fry Onion , just Safran.
Persian friend makes it so there is a rice crust on the bottom. That is pulled out and broken up. Done by cooking longer?
@@MeragRealmlol Pakistan is made up country. Basmati is native to both pakistan and india
@@donaldkasper8346 no, actually there is a few ways to make it. fastest way is: wash and boil rice in salted water and little bit oil(10 minutes) until almost completely "al dente" then drain the water and oil but keep half a glass. after that put some oil in bottom of pot, rice, make holes so the steam can escape and pour half glass in the holes. wrap towel around lid and put on low medium heat for 30 minutes
you can also put lavash bread or potatoslices on the bottom, its a different kind of tahdig@@donaldkasper8346
BASMATTI RICE COOKED IN AN "ELECTRIC RICE COOKER" COMES OUT PERFECT "EVERY TIME" . AROMATIC & DELICIOUS ! ! ! ! !
Chef, you (and Max Hardy) make me wish I lived in Detroit. Every. Single. Video.
You should come visit
😊😊😅7 you😊😊
@@detroit75kitchenyou a clown bro 🤡🤡🐀🐀
I put my rice in the rice cooker fill water to the correct line and click the go button. Perfect rice every time. If i feel fancy I'll fry the rice first with the spices to make a jeera rice.
Thank you!!!! I have been struggling with rice that is not instant and almost gave up. You’re a gem.
Rice cookers are a easy cheap alternative also
@@samkolysko1406 but space in kitchen isnt. you cant buy a machinnery for every thing you cook.
Yes the space! I have so many cool things i forget to use because i have a tiny counter. It's a waste of money at this point. I have a rice cooker i never use because im good at cooking rice on the stove. @WalterModel45
@WalterModel45 you can keep your rice cooker somewhere else outside the kitchen, closet, garage, shed, living room, bedroom, under the sink in the bathroom, on a shelf in any of those rooms, if you cant find space make a shelf, or you can make a little rope holder and suspend it from the ceiling, If you cant find space for something that small I think you have worse problems than how to cook rice.
@@samkolysko1406I agree with you. We use our rice cooker almost every day. Just hit the button and forget it. Rice is perfect every time. And it doesn't take up much space. It's an essential appliance IMO.
Yup perfect I prefer mine soaked for about 30mins and instead of olive oil I prefer Ghee
Ghee is more traditional, but for the people who don’t have it easily accessible we decided to show it with olive oil
@@detroit75kitchen So now show us how to make ghee. Love your channel.
Fantastic. I’m a rice lover and really enjoy Lebanese cuisine. Shookran.
We hope you love it
Aged basmati rice never gets mushy if u use hot or cold water. Here is exactly how u cook it on a gas stove top: one cup rice wash 3 /4 times. Soak for atleast 30 mins. Add it to ur pot. Add 2 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt. If u like aroma add an unopened pod of cardamon ( do not open it/ the taste of cardomom seeds is extremely intense if u bite on it.) A bay leaf and a clove or 2. Put the flame on high till the water comes to a boil. Thn reduce the flame as low as it will go cover the pot and time it for 13/14 mins. Turn of the flame. Done u hav cooked rice. Also remember the rice needs to b fully cooked and shld not hav a bite to it at all. Make sure to loosen the cooked rice with a fork after 5 mins post cooking so it doesn't clump up. Hope this helps.
Nobody asked
Thank you for helping me on this. I’m going to try it. I make rice but never basmati.
Well i asked
💯 This is exactly how I've made basmati for years; bay leaf and cardamom included.
I find it's the leaving it to soak after washing that _really_ improves the texture and makes for fluffy, tender rice.
@@melissaharris3389Hi. Do you cook it in the soak water or drain it and cook it in clean water?
That's how my Lebanese wife cooks rice. God bless her.
Cousin....😅❤❤❤
@sylviamaxwell504 what?
She sounds like one hell of a woman
I sware i read it as lesbian 🗿
@@ShinNohara-bs4mkthen quit watching the hub mf
I use cold water and my rice still comes out fluffy it’s really about not opening the top till it’s time to, and letting it rest with no flame. I grew up eating it and learned how to make.
I grew up in the middle east, and seeing this brings a smile on my face on the memories I had eating this dish. Will take the advice, thank you!
Drooling all the way from Australia.
Nice work brother, thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. 👊🏼
If you're middle eastern or south asian descent then this is really the only way to make rice!
When you know the basics of rice, its one of the most useful and versatile foods. When people say they can't without a rice cooker, it hurts 😭
I wash mine , soak it for 30MINS while i do the prep and other work , then I have the option to toast it or go straight to boiling , toast it or not , the boil is only 5 minutes time because of the soak . The toast is optional , it continues to break down the starch more which gives the separate grains people have trouble get , and , adds a nutty flavour sort of while bringing out the aromatics of what is in with the rice , spices - onions - garlic and such , i buy the SUPER LONG GRAIN basmati , it is labelled different ways , but the longer the better , makes for amazing rice.
Sounds great
We have the same method. I like a very long grain fluffy white sweet smelling basmati rice to go with well spiced dishes - delicious!
You have really good advice all the time. Appreciated very much.
Thank you for showing us these cooking examples.
I tried the recipe and can confirm it works ! Holy cow, this is how ill make rice from now on
How much water did you use? Did you measure it before pouring in?
@@CandaceAllison for each 1/2 Cup of rice, add 1 Cup of water
So 1 Cup of rice = 2 Cups of water and so on
You can’t go wrong with basmati rice. I love it. So fluffy and light.
Thanks Chef; I’m half Indian so Basmati rice is a staple oftentimes in my kitchen. I needed a tip or two to make mine taste and look better 😊
We hope this helps
I am from Detroit but live in Chicago. I want to visit my niece in Hamtramck and eat at your place!
Looks delicious. A great Recipe. Thank you
Our pleasure
wow chef thank you
You’re very welcome
Boy, this blew my recipe out, going to try your way, learning new things at 72, HOOT HOOT😮
DAMN!! I thought you just open the corner of the "Uncle Ben's" microwave pouch and wave for Ninety Second and that was it.
@nineiron.
Ah, "Uncle Ben's" and a microwave...perfect rice everytime..No fuss, No mess.
I’m saving this vid! I know those flavors are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I used a rice cooker and used cold water and perfectly, so his style is just preferences
For those of you who struggle with rice and water ratio you can boil the rice after rinsing in a bunch of water taste test it till it’s 75% done or so (should still have a bite to it) drain the water completely, add a couple tbsps of butter on top after you drain the rice and put it back in. Put the pot on low heat with a kitchen towel under the lid cook for 10 - 15 min and it will steam to perfect done ness also get crispy rice in the bottom like Persian style. Might take you a couple tries to get the timing down depending on how powerful your stove is. If you smell burning rice it was either too hot or too long. This was how a friends mom told me how to do it the Persian way. Try it out. Be careful of the kitchen towel you use so it doesn’t catch fire on the stove. I’ve tried it without the towel and just a lid and it worked fine also. Here’s another tip don’t stir your rice. While boiling or when your doing the last step. For basmati rice only. Don’t try with short grain.
Nice technique
We Puerto Ricans LOVE the crispy bottom rice, we call it pegao.
From Australia, I salute you, if you ever come here, Kitchen on me!
We’d love to visit Australia
My new favorite rice for past 6 months
Ours too
Do you use the standard 1:2 rice:water ratio or add water to what looked a bit covering the rice?
My rule of the thumb 1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water
Hey mike talk perfectly every single time you are the best good job buddy keep up the good work 🤞✌️👍🙏🙏🙏🤞✌️👍🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️
Thank you so much for this rice tip.
👍🏻 good job dude
Thanks
I love basmati rice! I’ll try this - thank you. You have great advice, always.
Will try it thanks
What’s the rice to water ratio? Would love to try it your way, looks delicious.
For 1 cup basmati rice use 1.4-1.5 cups of water
Let the water come to a roaring boil and then then close the lid and cook for 10 mins then turn of the gas and let the rice rest for 10-15mins ...and done (they are ready to serve)
You can even put a few tablespoons of melted clarried butter and garnish with brown onions,some fresh coriander once your rice are cooked
My cook mentor who was chef of the royal family of Persia during the 60s told me that first of all basmati is Persian rice adopted from the Indians when they were on the 10 year war with Iraq . You wash the rice well then you boil it once discard the water put the rice on the lowest heat (talking about a candle) with a towel on the cover for about 20 minutes a d it's ready fluffy for at least five days.
I watched this like 100 times 😂 and made the perfect basmati rice! Thank you 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This is the way. I turn off my burner rather than to low. Works perfectly every time.
Thank you sir I’ve been trying to make basmati rice for 40 years. It always comes out mushy. I can’t wait to try your method. Thank you.
I strongly recommend to buy a rice cooker😊
Wow you really cook basmati like a south Asian. Was not expecting that. Kudos to you sir.
My son’s father used to bring authentic afghan style basmati rice. It was so good. Took me years to figure out how his family got it like that. Kinda similar to how you make yours here Wash well & soak in cold for 30-2hrs….drain and add to a pot of boiling water for like 5-7min. (Some say 10-12, I think that’s too much if you soaked the rice for minimum 30min.) Heat up some oil with small amount of cumin. Then drain the water again, put back in the pot, use the spoon handle to make little indentations in the rice and pour the hot oil over it and then put the towel on top and finish off in the oven for like 5 min. Sometimes you might need to add a few tablespoons of water before popping in the oven. It’s a lot of steps but the rice comes out amazing and seemingly plain but pleasantly flavorful. This looks similar though. I’ll have to give it a try.
Thank you!! For some reason rice is the thing i continually mess up!! Going to try this.😊
It can be tricky, but keep practicing!
Wonderful channel, thank you Chef!
