Rinse the rice and drain for 15 minutes.
Turn the rice in butter for 3 minutes, until translucent.
Add hot water and salt, then cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Let the pilaf steam for 8 minutes.
Gently stir in the curd cheese and basil so the rice grains are not crushed.
💡 Tip: Adding the basil after removing the pot from the heat preserves its aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pilaf hot with yogurt and salad on the side.
