Steamed Basmati Rice

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED these recipes and I was sure Hal would too. Wrong again. The man likes tomatoes, fruit, rice, curry and he has unwittingly eaten tofu many, many times in Thai food. But apparently I'm wrong. He liked the rice and the strawberries . . . sigh . . . well I won't give up!!

Steamed Basmati Rice

2/3 cup basmati rice

1-1/3 cup water

Salt to taste

Rinse the rice and drain it.

Pour the specified amount of water into a saucepan, cover, then bring to a boil. Add the rice and salt. Cover and cook over very low heat about 15 minutes without uncovering.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. The water should be completely absorbed. Should it not be, cover and simmer for a few more minuters. Let stand, covered, 3-5 minutes.
