This simple Turkish rice pilav starts with thoroughly rinsed rice, briefly sautéed in butter and oil. Gentle cooking and a 10-minute covered rest give it fluffy, separate grains, with no soaking needed. Measure the rice and water with the same cup.

Steps
Rinse the rice very well until the water runs as clear as possible, then drain. There is no need to soak it.
Melt the butter with the vegetable oil in a pot. Add the rice and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add the hot water and salt. Wait for it to come to a boil over medium heat.
Once it boils, cover the pot and turn the heat down to its lowest setting. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Do not stir.
Once the water is absorbed, turn off the heat and let the rice rest with the lid on for 10 minutes. Gently fluff and serve.
