What basmati rice to water ratio in microwave?

For cooking basmati rice in the microwave, a common water-to-rice ratio is 1.5 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, which helps prevent stickiness. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a microwave-safe bowl, cover it loosely, and cook on high for about 10-12 minutes, then let it sit for an additional 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your microwave's wattage.
