  • Place the rice in medium bowl and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Using your hands, gently swish the grains to release any excess starch. Carefully pour off the water, leaving the rice in the bowl. Repeat four times, or until the water runs almost clear. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain the rice.
  • In a medium pot, bring the water, butter, salt, and rice to a boil. Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until all of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. If the rice is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water and continue cooking for a few minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This rice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Putting it in a flat layer in sealable plastic bags works well as it will take up less space in the freezer.) No need to thaw before reheating; remove it from the freezer and reheat in the microwave with 1 to 2 Tbsp. of water.

  • Perfect Basmati Rice. Before we get creative, here’s a recipe for plain but perfect basmati rice. You can easily make it with only four ingredients in less than 30 minutes.
  • Basmati Rice Pilaf. Are you looking for something with a bit more flavor? Try this garlicky, onion rice pilaf instead. It’s ridiculously scrumptious and has the most wonderful texture.
  • Indian Basmati Rice. Since basmati rice comes from India, it’s only fair that we have an Indian recipe for it. Jazz it up Indian style with turmeric, cumin, curry, and other fragrant seasonings.
  • Garlic Basmati Rice. If you’re anything like me, you can’t get enough garlic. I could put it on just about anything and enjoy it. If you feel the same way, use this recipe and add garlic to your basmati rice.
  • Easy Chicken Fried Rice. Don’t pick up the takeout menu the next time you’re craving chicken fried rice. Save yourself some time and money, and make your own with this recipe.
  • Basmati Coconut Rice. Despite the coconut milk, this isn’t a sweet rice dish. It’s savory, fluffy, and delightfully sticky. It has a rich, earthy flavor with bold pops of oniony deliciousness.
  • Curry Vegetable Basmati Rice. What’s better than the bold taste of curry and a ton of fresh veggies? Not much! This colorful rice is as nutritious as it is delicious.
  • Beef Stew in Half the Time With Rice. Do you find yourself craving beef stew when the weather turns cool? I know I do. Unfortunately, making it typically involves a slow cooker and hours of simmering.
  • One-Pan Shrimp and Rice. I am a sucker for a terrific one-pan meal, especially if it’s colorful, fragrant, and flavorful. (With low-fat shrimp and tons of veggies!)
  • One-Pot Greek Chicken and Basmati Rice. Prefer milder meals with chicken instead of shrimp? This recipe might be more your speed. It’s just as yummy and easy to make in one pot.
