Chef's Notes
Treat your soaked basmati rice with the utmost respect; rough handling will turn your majestic grains into mush before the cooking even begins.
Pro Tip
Always let the rice rest covered for those final 10 minutes off the heat. That steam redistribution is the secret weapon of every master chef.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you blast the heat during the 20-minute simmer, you will end up with raw crunchy rice on top and a blackened carbon disc at the bottom of your pan!

The Culinary Science
Simmering tomato puree first drives off excess water and concentrates the natural glutamins, creating a deeply savory umami foundation.
