Ingredients - Serves 4

Wash the basmati rice under running cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
Heat the ghee or oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add the drained rice to the pan and sauté for a minute, making sure all the rice grains are coated with ghee or oil.
Add water and salt to the pan and stir well.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the rice cook on low heat until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
