  For those of you who aren't sure how to cook rice, here's how I do it: Rinse 1 cup Basmati rice under cold water. In medium sauce pan, bring 2 cups water, 1 T butter and 1/2 t salt to a boil. Stir in rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
