Rinse the basmati rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in plenty of water for at least 30 minutes, then drain.

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and all the water has been absorbed.
