» Feature Writer Alan Boehmer - Too much water?

In response to your article on cooking perfect Basmati rice, I'd like to say that I've been doing so on a regular basis and after more years of experimentation than I care to count, came up with the following method for separate, but tender grains:

Wash as described. Soak for 30 minutes in cold water. For 1 cup Basmati, bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil. Add rice. Cover and cook on very low hear for 14 min. Let rest undisturbed for 5 more. This method always works well for me.
