perfect basmati rice from the mircowave
You only save about 5 minutes time here but this rice is actually better than rice made on either the stove top or in a rice cooker. This recipe is from and old cookbook I can’t locate at the moment, but that book has other great tips like this that work incredibly well, so I continue to look.
