2        cups Basmati Rice
4        cups water
6-8     tablespoons butter or oil
1        packet Rice Pilaf Mix
1/4     teaspoon salt (optional)

In a large pan, rinse rice 3-4 times to remove extra starch and drain well.
Add water, butter or oil and Rice Pilaf Mix. Mix well.
Place saucepan uncovered over high heat and bring to boil, stirring occasionally.
When water reduces to rice level, lower heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Serves 4-6.
