How to Make Basmati Chaaval

  1. Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice.
  6. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or ghee for extra richness (optional).
