<human>:  How do I cook Basmati Rice?
<bot>: To cook Basmati rice, start by rinsing 1 cup of rice a few times in cold water until the water runs clear. Then, combine the rinsed rice with 1.5 cups of water, and a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the rice for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked. Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
