Steps

1
Measure out all the ingredients.
2
Pour the rice into a strainer and rinse under running water until the water runs clear.
3
Transfer the rice into the rice cooker and mix in the melted ghee (or extra virgin olive oil). Use a spoon or spatula to coat every grain.
4
Sprinkle with salt and mix again.
5
Pour the water over the rice and flatten out the top of the rice so the rice lays flat.
6
Follow the instructions for your rice cooker. My rice cooker has a basic “rice” setting that I press and press the “start” button.
7
After the rice has finished cooking, leave it to rest for 10 minutes without opening the lid.
8
After 10 minutes, open the lid and fluff with a rice paddle.
