Chef's Notes
Treat your basmati rice with absolute respect. Rushing the toast step is a rookie error that strips the grains of their nutty nobility.
Pro Tip
Always measure your liquids with mathematical precision. Eyeballing liquids is a fast track to disaster.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You crank the heat to high for the entire 20-minute simmer because you are impatient, resulting in a blackened crust of charcoal and tear-soaked smoke detectors.

Royal Court Comedy
