Washing basmati before cooking is essential to ensure that the starch is removed.

Soaking the rice can produce softer rice, though it is not necessary. ? 3 Add water. Remember, for every cup of basmati rice, add a cup and a half of water. ? 4 Cook. To cook rice, use a rice cooker or a heavy-bottomed pot over the stove.
