Notes

Tips for best results

  • Rinse the rice - To make sure the rice doesn't end up sticky or clumpy, rinse it well in a fine mesh strainer with cold water to remove any extra starch before cooking.
  • Let the rice rest - For perfect rice, let the rice sit for a few minutes after it's done cooking. This allows the rice to fully absorb any excess moisture and ensures that it's evenly cooked.
  • Customize the spices - Cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala are classic Indian spices but you can also add some garlic, ginger, or onions for extra flavor.
