Add the spice pack and stir for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.Toasting the cumin first unlocks a deeper, nuttier aroma. 3 Add the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil over high heat. 4 Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until all the water is absorbed.Resist the urge to lift the lid — the steam is what makes the rice perfectly fluffy. 5 Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Tip: Keep the heat on the lowest setting once simmering — basmati is delicate and can scorch on the bottom if the heat is too high.
