4 cups water
1 tablespoon ghee or vegetable oil

1. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear, then drain well.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the ghee or oil over medium heat.
3. Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice in the oil.
4. Add the water, salt, and pepper to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine.
5. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
