I have NEVER been able to make rice for some reason...too sticky, too hard...This rice turns out perfectly for me everytime!! Who knew it was that simple? Truly delicious...Thanks for sharing!

First time I have ever made basmati like this anbd it is perfect for making a large quantity. Great taste, just like restaurant rice. Loved it. Notes-- I used much less butter, and only 51% fat butter at that and it was still excellent. Otherwise, made exactly as written.
