Basmati Rice

Ingredients:



1- 1.5 cups of Basmati Rice

2- 1.5 tea spoons of salt (may be 2 if you want it a little salty).

3- 1 tea spoon butter.

4- Elettaria

5- 3/4 table spoon of Turmeric powder.



Steps:

1- Wash rice very good until the water comes clean from it.
2- Add rice + 2.5 cups of water and put them on a high degree temp (if the temp scale is from 1-10, put them on 7-8)
3- Wait until the water boils, then add the butter, salt, Elettaria and Turmeric powder and decrease the temp to level 3
4- Cover the rice (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, IF YOU DON'T DO THIS THE RICE WON'T BE STEAMED AND YOU'LL GET A VERY BAD RESULT)
5- After 10-15 min (or when water begins to dry), move rice upside down one time and cover the rice again and decrease the temp one more level.
6- When the rice completely dry, it's ready to be served :)
