Rice needs three things from you: a rinse, the right amount of water, and to be left alone.

You’ll need

• Basmati rice 300 g
• Water 450 ml
• Salt a pinch

Method

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
2. Bring rice, water and salt to the boil.
3. Turn the heat to the lowest setting, lid on, 12 minutes.
4. Rest 5 minutes off the heat before you lift the lid.
