Before we dig into the rest of this recipe, let's make a perfect pot of rice. (No shade on your rice cooker if you've got one, but everyone should know how to make a pot on the stovetop.) First, rinse 2 cups basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve until water runs clear, at least 60 seconds. (Alternatively, you can rinse the rice in a bowl in several changes of cold water—whatever feels easiest to you.) Combine rice, 1 tsp. salt, and 2½ cups water in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover pot with lid and reduce heat to low, aiming for the lowest possible flame. Cook rice without uncovering, 18 minutes. Let stand at least 15 minutes, or until ready to use.
