How to make it

Stovetop method

Classic and foolproof — works with any pot

You'll need: 1 kit (rice + spice pack) · 2 cups water · 1 tsp oil or ghee · medium saucepan with lid

Prep time: 5 min · Cook time: 18 min · Serves: 2–3

1
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.
This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook up light and fluffy.
2
Heat 1 tsp of oil or ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. 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.

Rice cooker method

Hands-off and consistent — great for meal prep

You'll need: 1 kit (rice + spice pack) · 1¾ cups water · 1 tsp oil or ghee · rice cooker

Prep time: 5 min · Total time: ~25 min · Serves: 2–3

1
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.
2
Add the rinsed rice, spice pack, oil or ghee, and 1¾ cups of water to the rice cooker bowl. Stir to combine.
Use slightly less water than stovetop — rice cookers trap more steam.
3
Close the lid and press the White Rice or Cook setting. Let it run through the full cycle.
4
Once done, let it rest on the Keep Warm setting for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.
Tip: Every rice cooker is slightly different — if your rice comes out a little wet or dry the first time, adjust the water by ¼ cup next time.

Serving suggestions

Pairs perfectly with any of our dal varieties. Add your favorite vegetables for more fiber and nutrition, or top with a drizzle of ghee and fresh cilantro for extra richness.

Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water to restore fluffiness.
