Cooking rice is the simplest thing in the world!
Works equally well for basmati and sticky rice (which are the only kinds of rice anyway).
Measure your rice into a smallish pot with a tight fitting lid. For four people I use a coffee mug filled with rice to the level you’d fill it with coffee.
Cold tap, using fingers swish the rice. Pour out the water. Repeat until the water is mostly clear. Drain fully.
Now add exactly twice the volume of cold water as the measured volume of rice. So in this case two coffee mugs.
Do not add salt, stock or anything else. Just cold water.
Loosely fit the lid onto the pot (because it will come to the boil faster obvs.) and put it onto the heat until it is boiling properly.
Remove from heat. Jam that lid on tight. Sit the pot on a nice non conductive surface (like a breadboard) and cover it in tea towels for insulation.
When you are done with the rest of your cooking (or circa 20 minutes) take off the lid and fluff with a fork if basmati. Let cool if sticky.
It will be perfect EVERY SINGLE TIME.
You’re welcome.
