Hey fellow cooks! I'm about to cook some basmati rice, but I'm not sure if it needs more water than other rice varieties. Any insights on the water-to-rice ratio? Thanks for the help!
Basmati rice has unique properties that require a specific water-to-rice ratio for perfect cooking. Rinse under cold water, use a 1.5 to 1.75 ratio, and rest before fluffing for light, fluffy grains every time.Hey fellow cooks!

Yes, basmati rice typically requires more water compared to other types of rice due to its longer grain and firmer texture. The general ratio is about 1.5 to 2 cups of water per 1 cup of basmati rice, but it can vary depending on your desired consistency and the specific cooking method.Hey fellow cooks!
