I had an urge for Nasi Lemak but have since stopped buying regular Jasmine rice. Desiring a low GI healthy rice option, I chose basmati. Although this choice will bump my rice budget by near three times more, I will still pay the difference for health-sake. Plus after learning how to cook basmati rice the right way, my son who loves his carbs, seem to not mind the change.
I have learnt the water to rice proportions from an Indian man when I met him at a volunteers’ luncheon a few months ago. This friendly man from Chennai told me that I needed to add more water than regular rice and he was absolutely right.
This is my healthier Nasi Lemak Basmati recipe, low GI and lower calories –
Ingredients
* 2 cups basmati rice, washed
* 2 cups water
* 65ml coconut cream, mix into the 2 cups water. This yields about 2.5 cups liquid
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 blade pandan leaf, knotted
Method
Cook in ELB.

Should you decide to use a regular rice cooker then normal rice setting will do the trick.
