basmati rice with dill weed and butter

you can prepare this in two ways:  the short way and the traditional way, which will take longer.

the difference?  in taste, no difference at all but if you are watching your weight, calorie intake, and your waistline, better prepare it the traditional way.

for now, this is the short way, because even in posting, i am feeling lazy.

you will be using the rice cooker, which means, it's not only quick but it is also super easy.

ingredients:
3 cups basmati rice
4 cups water
a generous sprinkling of salt
about a teaspoon of dried dill weed [more if you want it strong]
about a teaspoon of canola oil
butter

1. wash the basmati rice like you do regular rice, drain, and put in the rice cooker, add the water
2. put in salt, oil, dill weed, mix
3. make sure to evenly distribute the rice grains, switch the cooker on
4. when cooked, fluff the rice and put in as much butter as you want, i put about 4 pats
5. serve hot

there, it's as easy as that.  and i promise you that you will love it it, dream of its distinctive aroma, and and that you won't be able to wait till the next time you get to eat it.

it is best paired with baked/oven-roasted chicken and preferably with dill herb in the marinade.  for the chicken recipe, click here.
