fresh water

Instructions

Put 1 rice cooker cup basmati rice in a colander over a bowl and cover with water. Mix gently by hand, drain cloudy water, replace with fresh water and mix gently again. Repeat once or twice more until water runs clear and rice is rinsed of excess starch.
Transfer the rinsed rice to the inner bowl of a rice cooker. Add fresh water to the '1 cup' mark on the bowl. Set the bowl in your rice cooker and cook on 'long grain' mode. Once the rice cooker indicates that the rice is cooked, fluff it up gently with a rice spoon or fork, and leave on 'keep warm' mode for 10 minutes. Indian restaurant style basmati rice is now ready to serve.
Fluff up basmati rice with a rice spoon or fork and serve.
