Step 1:
How to make rice in foil in the oven? Prepare the products. Any rice will do. Basmati rice turns out to be one of the driest, so you need to take a little more liquid for its preparation than for round-grain varieties. Water can be replaced with any vegetable broth.
Step 2:
Fill the rice with hot water and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the water, and rinse the rice thoroughly, as if rubbing it with your hands to wash the maximum starch.
Step 3:
Drain the water from the clean rice. The rice should turn noticeably white.
Step 4:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the washed rice in it. Stir the rice constantly. Do not make the fire maximum, but let it be a little more than average. The rice should absorb the oil and become translucent.
Step 5:
Transfer the fried rice to a fireproof mold. Pour salted hot water or vegetable broth. Flatten the rice so that it is as evenly distributed as possible in the form.
Step 6:
Cover the mold filled with rice with a foil sheet suitable in size.
Step 7:
Put the rice in a preheated 180 degree oven and simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Then try the rice, it should become soft. If it still remains firm, continue baking. Serve the finished rice hot with various gravies, sauces, curries and salads. Bon appetit!

If desired, you can add your favorite spices to taste at the stage of frying rice. For example, freshly ground black pepper, ground paprika (plain or smoked), curry will do well. Adding a small amount of turmeric will beautifully color the rice in a pleasant yellow color.
Instead of vegetable oil, you can take butter or even better — melted butter (ghee).
