Basmati Rice

1.  Using a knife, burst
the cardamom pods and place to one side.

2. Place your rice in a sieve and wash with cold water until the water runs
clear.

3.  Add rice to a pan
of 600ml water and bring to the boil.

4. Once boiling,
reduce to a low heat, add the cardamom pods then cover with a lid.

5. Cook on a low heat
for 15-20 minutes until no water remains and the rice is cooked.

Make sure you wash the rice properly. Getting rid of the starch is the key to good rice.
