Never-Fail Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice, white or 1 cup brown basmati rice
2 cups water or 2 cups chicken stock
3 -5 saffron strands (optional)

Preparation

If you're cooking Dessert Rice use Water.
If you're cooking Side dish Rice use Chicken Stock.
Bring the liquid to a boil.
Add the Rice, when the liquid comes back to a boil reduce the heat to a bare simmer.
Cover and simmer for 20 min.
For Brown Basmati Rice simmer 40 min.
NO PEEKING, YOU'LL SPOIL IT! If you let the heat out it changes the cooking time!
After the full 20 minutes remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork.
A bit of Saffron added at this time is a good idea for side dish rice.
