Biryani Rice Recipe How Fluffy Basmati Every Time

Instructions:

1. Place the basmati rice in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and gently swirl with your hand. Drain the cloudy water using a fine-mesh sieve. Repeat this process 3-4 times, until the water runs relatively clear.
2. Return the washed rice to the bowl and cover with fresh, cold water. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
3. After soaking, thoroughly drain the rice in the sieve.
4. Heat the ghee or oil in the heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the drained rice and gently toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
5. Pour in the water or broth. Add the salt and stir gently to combine.
6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
7. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly with the lid, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
8. After 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit (still covered!) for 10 minutes.
9. Gently fluff the rice with a fork, separating the grains. Serve immediately.
