For white basmati, I get good results from no soak and 30 minutes on medium in the microwave with cling film over the top. 100g rice + 400ml water, pierce the centre of the cling film before starting to provide a bit of ventilation. That ends up just sticky enough to mould, but with no obvious gloop
For myself, I usually do ¼-⅓ glutinous rice and the balance brown basmati, and I haven't found a formula for that which anybody else would find acceptable, but I just dump it in the pan with the curry once both are done and stir them together, so all bets are off.
