Cooking Basmati rice ( just a one way )



1 cup rice
1 & 1/4 cup water ( with same cup that measure rice )
Salt
lemon juice 1/4tsp

To make sure you get lovely fluffy rice, wash it in several changes of cold water, then leave to soak for about 30 minutes in fresh cold water.
 In a medium saucepan bring water to the boil and add salt and lemon juice ( lemon juice will prevent sticking rice together after it cooked ) and drain the rice and put it to the boiling water. Turn the heat to low and leave to cook until water run dry and before turning off the heat cover rice with tight-fitting lid or with aluminum foil and and turn off the heat and  keep for 5min. After 5min fluffing up rice with a fork.

( if its 2 cups rice, two and half cups of water )
