Cooking Basmati Rice in Rice Cooker

Good tips that worked for me are in this link.
More tips :
  1. link1
  2. link2 talks about cooking in zorijushi. This calls for the same method as below but for soaking in salted water.
  • Rice to Water Ratio is 2 cup water for 1 cup rice
  • Rinse/Wash rice gently and Soak rice for 10 mins and not more than 10 mins
  • Optionally add a bit of spices (like 2 cardamom, 1-2 cloves, 1 small cinnamon stick, etc.) and 1 tsp butter
  • Cook in the regular rice cooking mode of your rice cooker
  • Once cooking is done, switch cooker off and Leave closed for 10 mins
  • Open after 10 mins and fluff gently with a fork. If you fluff too long after cooking it could get clumpy.
  • Keep rice covered. Do not keep it in warm setting of rice cooker as it could get hard and clumpy.
