White Basmati Rice

Basmati is one of the best known varieties of rice out there. The word "basmati" comes from the sanskrit word "vasmati" which means "fragrant" or "aromatic." long-grained, extremely aromatic, with a light nutty flavor, basmati is grown in the north of india and pakistan, mainly using traditional growing methods.
The best way to cook the perfect pot of rice can be a pretty contentious topic. Almost 90% of my culinary arguments with my mother are about the best ways to cook rice. We both have strong opinions about everything from whether the rice needs to be soaked first and the quality of rice to the amount of water needed and whether it should be boiling or not.
But the proof of my method is on my table every night � this classic ratio-based, boiling water, absorption method works every time.
