Serves 4 (I think it is more like 6 serves)
- 350g basmati rice
- sea salt
Put a large saucepan of salted water on a high heat and bring to the boil.
Rinse rice in a colander under running water til water runs clear (this takes about 1 min).
Add rice to saucepan and wait til the grains start dancing around.
From that point boil for 5 minutes.
Drain rice in colander
Pour 2.5cm of water into the saucepan and bring it to the boil then turn down to a simmer.
Cover the rice in the colander with foil or a lid
Place colander on top of the saucepan of simmering water and let the rice steam for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and serve.
The rice will stay warm for about 20 minutes with the foil left on the colander.

Sorry if I am not understanding but how do you boil the rice for 5 minutes without any water.Or are you just using what was around the rice from when you washed it.
Oh don't mind me busy day. I see you put the pot of water on before you rinse the rice.
Sorry...this looks very interesting, never thought of steaming rice before.
