Make Fluffy Rice in Open Pot

Here is an easy way to make fluffy basmati rice in an open pot.

Rice
  1. Wash rice and soak in water for 10 minutes
  2. Drain water and transfer the rice in the cooking pot and cover it with water till its just one joint above your finger
  3. Put the heat on high and wait till it starts to boil
  4. Now reduce the heat to minimum and cover the pot with lid
  5. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes [DO NOT OPEN the lid]
  6. Now check if the rice is done, if not then cook for another 2 minutes
  7. Turn off the stove and let the pot sit for another 10 minutes 
  8. Now open the pot and fluff the rice and its ready to serve

Hi Renu,
I am a new blogger. Spending my summer holiday blogging and checking other blogs. Bumped into yours today. Lovely collection of recipes you have. I am adding you in my list.

This is a good way to cook rice but is not an Open Pot Method. Rather, it is an absorption, covered-pot method.
