Okay guys, what makes the perfect rice?
Well look, we want our rice to be nutty and fluffy not sticky and not stuck together.
So I'm going to give you the ultimate recipe that's going to look after you.
Fail safe, beautiful fluffy rice.
It's so simple.
Just get yourself a mug, fill that with rice.
This recipe here applies to white basmati rice; we're going to put one cup of basmati
rice to two mugs of water.
Boiling or just regular cold water.
This will serve 4 people.
Trust me; I know you don't believe me.
Four people no problemo.
Okay, we want a nice pinch of salt.
The lid goes on and we're going to put that on a high beat, being it to the boil and just
cook it hard for about 8-10 minutes.
Now that's had about 9 minutes.
You can see these little holes have formed here.
That's the steam escaping.
If I run my fork around her you can see how fluffy that is.
This is your basic fluffy rice.
It's so simple and sort of creamy and nutty and wonderful carrier of flavours.
Right I'm going to give you three flavours so you guys can have fun with it, make it
compliment your dishes.
So again, one mug of our basmati rice, two mugs of water and a good pinch of salt.
Let's kick it off.
We've got things like saffron here.
That's the stamen of the crocus flower, so a little pinch going into this rice.
Look at the flavour that's going to come out here.
And the colour as well.
Lid goes on top.
So that's Saffron scented rice.
The next one, we're going to flavour this one with the beautiful salted lemon.
You can get these in the supermarkets, they're really perfumed, and they're really gorgeous.
So just plop one of two of these lemons into that batch of rice.
And lid always on top as well.
Last one, I want to flavour this with Indian flavours this time.
We've got cloves, cardamom seeds; we've got some turmeric and some cinnamon.
So you can take any combination of these.
I like to go generous on the cloves, so at ten cloves at least, it's going to give it
an amazing flavour.
A stick of cinnamon, half of that goes in and about a teaspoon of the tumeric.
Turmeric incredibly good for you.
Again, just like all these others we're going to go on with a lid and just let it boil until
it evaporates.
And literally just after 8-10 minutes it's perfect.
Fork it up; it's going to be perfection every single time.
So, we've got our salted lemon here, can you see how this lemon has complete softened up
so much.
Gone almost jammified.
Get all the pips and then I'm just going to chop it up.
You know you could take some herbs, mints, parsley corianders.
That's the chance to add some freshness.
When I fluff that up you can get that flavour all the way through it, it starts to plump
up and freshen up.
It's so reliable this recipe SO salted lemon and mint.
Wonderful with an infinite amount of dishes.
Spiced turmeric, Indian inspired rice.
Beautiful and last but not least.
This is your saffron rice.
Just a little pinch of something takes it a totally different direction.
So saffron, brilliant with meat or fish.
Absolutely gorgeous, it's edging Morocco, Spain, Persian flavours.
