In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice (no need to drain) and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and any excess liquid has absorbed, 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. (Save basmati rice for another use.)
