Basmati belongs among the noble varieties of rice, which are grown in the fields at the foothills of the Himalayas in Pakistan.

Cooking instructions: Thoroughly rinse the rice with water. After rinsing, put the rice into a pot and add fresh water. For every cup of rice, use 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Mix 1 teaspoon salt into the water. Cover the pot with a lid and leave on a low/medium heat for 20–25 minutes without peeking or stirring. Then remove from heat and allow the rice to cool for 5 minutes. Gently separate the grains with a fork. Rice is then ready to serve.
