How to Make the Perfect Rice
Making delicious homemade basmati rice requires just three simple ingredients:
- Organic Basmati Rice – This ensures you are not consuming any unnecessary chemicals.
- Water – The essential ingredient for cooking the rice.
- Healthy Fat – Options like organic coconut oil, ghee, or butter are my go-to choices.
Want to make your rice even yummier? Add some color and flavor!
Color your rice with organic turmeric, saffron, fresh chopped herbs, cumin seeds or even peas to give it a heart-inspired vibrancy and added health benefits. I usually add something different each time depending on what else I'm making. You can even add small chopped vegetables to make it its own meal and serve with a fried egg on top!
