How to cook basmati rice: fluffy or sticky. Your choice.
You have to know how much water, salt and rice you add to make it tasty, quick and easy. This recipe has a perfect rice to water ratio, so you can be sure that nothing burns or that you do not have to add water or salt during cooking.
This recipe gives you 2 options – you can make sticky or fluffy rice – it all depends on your taste and what you want to use the cooked rice. If you want fluffy rice, add some olive oil after the water starts to cook and if you want your rice to be sticky, do not add any oil.

Tips
*This amount of dry basmati rice turns into 600 g of cooked rice
*It is very important to cook basmati rice under a closed lid – this way it turns very soft and tasty.
*I mix it with 2 forks, because this rice is cooked without oil and rice sticks together. To make it fluffy you can take 2 forks and separate basmati rice from each other.
