This is the best most straight-foward video on how to cook basmati rice. No more Uncle Ben's pre-cooked rice packets for me!

[@chefharpalsingh]

yes..

[@Polypropellor]

Most excellent. this is how I do my rice, long grain, & basmati. sometimes I will rinse with clean hot water after finished cooking and drained if it is still a bit sticky. I make large batches and keep it in the refrigerator for quick use. I found the post cooking rinse makes it still very fluffy even when cold and no loss of flavor. I also add one teaspoon of salt to the water to help in making the water more easily penetrate the grains which reduces cooking time by a little so my rice has a good "bite" to it all the way through. Sometimes the grains can be softer on the outside if cooked just that one or two extra minutes. Before I put the batch in the fridge, I add one tablespoon of sugar. This reacts with any left over starch on the grains and also helps prevent sticking. these are old secrets from a Mexican Food Master I worked with. Using this "free" rice for fried rice dishes makes for a very excellent, free grained rice that colors beautifully with the various colorful ingredients. Thank you for a delightful learning experience. I will watch many more of your videos.

[@chefharpalsingh]

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas too and i am sure all people who visit this page will get to know more..

[@IbnTufayl1]

Thank you! This turned out perfectly for me! This technique is so easy and gives you much more control than the absorption method. Highly recommended!

[@chefharpalsingh]

Yes. Thank You.

Chef, I had a little trial and error on how long to boil (first batch was over cooked), but after that, your method turned out GREAT basmati rice that made AWESOME egg fried rice. Thank you!!

[@chefharpalsingh]

Thank you

[@jyotirbikashbhattacharya3649]

Chef I'm really a big fan of yours. I find your explanations extremely lucid and at the same time quite vivid. Some people might not be interested in the basics but sometimes even if we are quite good at complicated cooking we do ignore the basics. But it is extremely important to know the basics first and also the tricks involved in them. Thanks a lot chef.

[@chefharpalsingh]

Most welcome

Hello from Brazil! I am a big fan of Indian culture and especially food, unfortunately where I live, I don't have all the spices available to reproduce these dishes, but as much as possible I try. I would like to know about paprika, because here we have sweet paprika, smoked paprika and spicy paprika and also the "colorau" from annatto, which is also known in some countries as paprika, but has no flavor, just add color the dish. Which one should i use please? Thank you very much and congratulations for the excellent channel!
