Notes
Cooking in nonstick pan still leaves the bottom wet, so you could place a tawa and cook this rice over it for 5 to 7 mins in the end. Else making this in Rice cooker, Pressure Cooker is equally easy. Depending on the Basmati Variety, you need to adjust the water. This brand required 1:2 ratio of water. Else it is normally 1&1/2 cup of water or even less.
