I'm not an Indian, no disrespect to anyone that is or any other colour, race or creed either but my way works, simple as. Lots of other methods here but they're all very messy and time consuming. No idea that rice ever tasted of anything. Its pure starch in my book. The flavour is in the curry!! I'm a Whitey btw! Predominant diet is chicken and rice. J. |

+1 recommendation for getting a rice cooker. The Panasonic ones is pretty nice. (Their microwaves are shit, but the rice cooker is great) It cooks rice really well and is super easy to use. It also keeps it warm when the cooking cycle is over and has a display for how many hours your rice has been sitting in keep-warm mode for. Also has an upper basket that sits inside the rice bowl where you can put any vege you also want to steam cook at the same time. So you can make a nice vege+rice meal all at once in the same machine. |

I’ve seen how my Asian friend cooks rice at his place, and it might be helpful as a reference. If you're a beginner, I'd suggest using a rice cooker. For the rice-to-water ratio, just spread the rice evenly at the bottom of the pot, then extend your index finger and gently touch the surface of the rice. The water should reach about one finger joint above the rice. If your fingers are longer, you don’t need to be as precise with the height. It’s some "magic" for getting the right amount! |

Most rice cookers have markings on the bowl for water level for 1 cup, 2 cup, 3cup of rice. Mine has multiple markings around the bowl for many different types of rice. You can of course, fine tune as needed, for me i know that just under the mark is where i need to be. |
