Cooking Perfect Mahmood Basmati Rice

(General instructions, always refer to the pack for specific guidance)

1. Rinse: Gently rinse 1 cup of Mahmood Basmati Rice in cold water 2-3 times, or until the water runs relatively clear.
2. Soak (Highly Recommended): Soak the rinsed rice in fresh water for at least 30 minutes. This allows the grains to absorb water, cook evenly, and achieve maximum length.
3. Cook (Open Pot Method): Drain the soaked rice. Add it to 1.5 to 2 cups of boiling water with a pinch of salt (optional). Cook on medium-low heat, covered, for 10-12 minutes (or until all water is absorbed). Do not stir.
4. Cook (Closed Pot/Rice Cooker): Use approximately 1.5 cups of water for every 1 cup of soaked rice. Follow your rice cooker's instructions.
5. Rest: Once cooked, turn off the heat and let the rice stand covered for 5-10 minutes. This allows the steam to finish cooking the grains and helps them become more separate.
6. Fluff: Gently fluff the rice with a fork or a flat spatula before serving.
