Quick & Easy Basmati Rice

Ever get tired of stressing over making the 'perfect' rice? Well I did. Ages ago I came upon this alternative. Bake your rice - yes bake it, don't boil it! You'll never have to scrub a pan again! 

You'll need to decide what amount fits your or your family's needs. One dried cup of rice = about 6 cups cooked rice. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2 c Basmati rice

3 1/2 c water

OR

1 c Basmati rice

1 3/4 c water

Rinse rice at least 4 times in water & drain.

Spatula out your moist rice into cooking casserole dish. I use glass or ceramic. (Don't grease pan!)

Add water & stir gently to even the rice out.

Cover & cook for 45 minutes.

You do not need to check on this rice during your cooking. It will turn out perfect in 45 minutes. 

When reusing the rice the following day, rinse and drain the desired amount of rice before using - this will re-constitute your rice to the tender state.

And enjoy!

Happy Holidays!
