It only takes a minute or two. Simply place the rice in a bowl with water, and then swish it around to release any excess starch. The water will be cloudy at first but after several rinses, it will be clear.

Ingredients
1 cup Basmati Rice- buy some from @7monkscafe
2 cups Water
1 tablespoon Oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp Vinegar

1. Place one cup of basmati rice in medium bowl and add enough water to cover by 3inches. Gently rise out rise and drain. Repeat 4 times or until water runs clear. This helps removes the extra starch from the rice.
2. In a medium pot, bring rice, oil & vinegar & bring to boil. Cover with a tight lid and cook for 5-8 minutes. Once water starts to boil over, remove lid and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. If rice it too firm, add a few tablespoons of water.
3. Rice should cook to be al dente. Drain off excess water and let rice sit for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
