Indian rice

Did you know that regular rice can be a real delicacy if cooked properly? Perhaps some of you will object and say: - "Why cook there - poured it with water, cook it and you're done!" But no! Properly cooked rice exudes a wonderful, natural aroma, has a unique taste and looks simply amazing. In India, where rice is cooked almost every day, all its subtleties have long been studied and all its secrets have been revealed. It is these "secrets" that I want to share with you today.

Ingredients

• Rice (long-grain "Basmati" rice) - 1 stack.
• Butter (as in any dishes, it is advisable to use fresh, high-quality, high-fat butter) - 1/2 tsp.
• Salt (common table salt) - 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper (ground) - 1/8 tsp
• Turmeric (without this wonderful spice anywhere) - 1/4 tsp.
• Water (it is advisable, of course, to use only clean water, not from the tap) - 2 stack.

Directions

1. So it all starts with the washing of the rice. It is necessary to rinse it only with cold water, rubbing between fingers and palm.
2. Change the water several times and repeat the process until it is as clear as in the photo.
3. Now bring the water to a boil in a separate saucepan or kettle. In the meantime, it boils, melt the butter in a thick-walled saucepan, add salt, spices, rice and fry it a little with constant stirring.When toasting, the process has two stages - at first the rice will become transparent, and then it will acquire a milky color. At this stage, you should stop and move on to the next step.
4. Once the rice turns white, pour boiling water into it, reduce heat to low and cover.
5. Now it is very important not to open the lid and not touch the rice until it is cooked. It will take 10-15 minutes.
6. Well, our rice is ready!
