Cardamom & Cumin Infused Basmati Rice

Rinse the rice under cold water to remove any surface starch, if desired. Soak the rice in about twice the amount of water for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Place the rice, salt, spices and liquid into a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the liquid comes to a boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Let cook for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Once done, remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 10 to 30 minutes. Gently fluff with a fork before serving.
