Dahlia, place a cup of basmati rice in a pan with 3 cups of water . Add salt bay leaf a clove Cinnamon stick . And star anise for flavor if you like . Do not wash the rice or stir it too much . Let it come to a boil then test it’s softness ( just try a grain) literally every two minutes ( don’t take your eyes off it . When it’s the softness you like, careful strain the water away through a sieve or colander with holes small enough so the rice doesn’t fall through . Then leave in a pot to cool for 5 minutes . You can also add your canned red beans strait away to the cold water with the rice to cook . If you make rice n peas with the dried beans that have soaked overnight then use long grain rice and cook the beans on low gor 2 hours before adding rice xx as those beans must be cooked for long. Tinned red kidney beans can cook along with your basmati rice easily x ( don’t forget to salt the rice water
OMG!! okay so I tried this exact recipe minus the star anise and it was the first time I have successfully made rice💜💜 I gave up and kept using microwave bags, but your recipe is now my go-to!! And basmati rice is my fave and the cinnamon stick was a unique touch!! THANK YOUU💗
@@taste4test if you want it more flavor some boil all the ingredients without the rice then let the water cool completely . Then add the dry rice and bring to the boil again and check every two mins . . Xx so glad it worked for you x
Oh wow your food store so expensive. I’m shocked how little you got for the 117 price. . But it was really nice seeing an American shopping tour❤
