As strange as it sounds it’s one of the most common questions I’m asked. Just how do you cook basmati rice so it’s fluffy and the grains do not stick.

The main reason rice turns out sticky are:

1. It’s not soaked long enough
2. It’s not rinsed clear enough
3. It’s overcooked

The actual cook time of EVERY rice will vary but after soaking and rinsing you should be looking at a cooking time of 3-5 minutes max.
