Aromatic Basmati Rice Rice Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a fine strainer, then drain thoroughly.
• Place all ingredients in the rice cooker bowl, and swirl to combine.
• Set the machine for the regular white rice cycle.
• When the machine shifts to 'keep warm', set a timer for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, fluff rice with the plastic paddle or a wooden spoon.
• Serve now, or leave on 'keep warm' for up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Place rice into a bowl with enough water to cover. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and cumin seed. Cook and stir for about a minute, then add the onion to the pot. Saute the onion until a rich golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain the water from the rice, and stir into the pot. Cook and stir the rice for a few minutes, until lightly toasted. Add salt and water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.

Steps:

• Place rice in a fine strainer or bowl, rinse with cold water twice, and drain twice.
• Coat the rice cooker with non-stick spray or a film of vegetable oil.
• Place rice in the rice bowl.
• Add the remaining ingredients; stir just to combine.
• Cover and set to regular cycle.
• When the machine switches to the Keep Warm cycle, let the rice steam for 10 minutes.
• Fluff rice with wooden or plastic rice paddle or wooden spoon.
• This rice will hold on Keep Warm for up to 1 hour.
