How to make Basmati rice in 20 minutes, plus a tip to make it fluffy!

oik im a black guy in LA who just love Asian Indian and Middle Eastern food...I bought a 10 pound bag of basmati rice about 4-5 months ago....I looked at numerous video and tutorials here on youtube and just quit after messing up about four to fives cups of rice....the remainder of the bag (which is pretty much full) hasnt't been touched since because i was so frustrated lol... finally today i decided i would try again because my mouth was watering for some and i though why go buy it hell i need to really learn how to cook it.....jumped on youtube to see if i could find a good tutorial(something that maybe I could learn from this time) and "BAM" "YOU POPPED UP' and lawd you are and angel straight from heaven...i follwed your directions and i swear the turn out and taste is still scaring me...its like one of my lil local indian restaurants cooked I kid you not ...thank you you are great at what you do and you keep it simple so the small man can learn lol

Ha! “Leave the rice alone” 😂 I felt like you were talking to me. My new favorite rice. It is so fragrant. Made the meatballs with this. So good.

Thank you so much! I doubled the recipe and it was perfect!!!!

FINALLY!! Someone who doesn't DROWN the rice! There's several pages on YT that say to use THREE cups of liquid to one cup of rice! SERIOUSLY! I have several types of rice on hand, depending on what I'm making. Short grain (for sushi) is always 1 to 1. Long grain, such as Jasmine or Basmati, I never use more than 1.5 to 1. (Less if I'm making it for fried rice.) Thanks for the video! You earned a new subscriber! (BTW? You might want to try a splash of Sesame oil instead of olive oil. It adds a little more nutty flavor)

Love all the explanations and projections of professionalism and learned knowledge passed from the Chippewa on down.......only to use a liquid measure cup for dry ingredients. Always gives me a good chuckle

I love u!! I've tried so many ways and this one is my go to! This is the only method that works and makes it edible, not mushy, not too firm, perfect!!!❤❤❤

Awesome. Excellent instructions

just love your simple recipe now i know to make the right fluffy rice x

Tried your method and it turned out perfect! Thank you!🙏

Perfect recipe, I'm a rice lover!

Perfection!!

Good job!

I loooove your vids!! Thank you so very much

Good instructions

Hi lovely. Thank you🤗. You have just taught me a very important recipe. And if it works for me, it will be my go to food. I'd like to add fresh peas or sweetcorn to the rice (like a rice and bean mix); do I add extra water and if so how much? And I hope to serve the rice with either your cilantro and lime chicken or pan fried salmon in cream. Here we go, this recipe might just put an end to fast food and freezer meals....

My favorite rice! Thanks. ❤

Hi. Thank you so much for this recipe works. I am enjoying my first dish of beautiful fluffy basmati rice. I followed this basic recipe its simple and beautiful.

Loved this recipe 😍😍

Uncle Roger would fuss about not using a rice cooker. I don't have a rice cooker. I can't afford one. I've been making near-perfect rice like this for years. WITHOUT A COOKER, UNCLE ROGER!

Love the rose petals segment!
