<human>:  What is the best way to cook basmati rice?
<bot>: The best way to cook basmati rice is by using the absorption method. To do this, rinse 1 cup of basmati rice until the water runs clear, then add it to 2 cups of boiling water. Once boiling again, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the pot to simmer for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Fluff the basmati rice with a fork and serve.
