It's actually coming together now it looked like I put too much water in
but it's getting good.

I'll be book-marking that.
I have a large party coming up, and a nice curry would just about do the job I think. Just be nice if I could get the rice right.

Buy Uncle Ben's boil in the bag, distinct lack of fail capability.

Distinct lack of taste too.
Basmati is where it's at.
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:24, Reply)

I'll bear that in mind.
I just googled it. We'll see what comes up.

Rice is starch and water, it doesn't taste of much, it's supposed to be a filler anyway.
Add salt, done.

Nah! Basmati has a taste and a beautiful aroma.
I love sticking my head in a newly opened bag of basmati and breathing in the aroma.

I use a loose enough evaporation method
I don't really time it but it still works out great. It only goes wrong if you try to serve it immediately, you have to leave it to sit with the lid on for about ten minutes once you take it off the heat.

I wish I knew what you meant by that.

(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:32, Reply)

alright I'll do my best
you put your rice in a pan. Then you cover it with water to a level where the surface of the water is about 1.5 cm above the surface of the rice (you can measure this with your fingernail). You put the heat on full with the lid off. When it starts to boil you put the lid on, turn the heat to low and leave it for a bit. When it starts to boil over you move the lid a bit to let steam out. Once all the water has evaporated turn off the heat and put the lid back on tight. Then let it sit there for 5/10 mins.

Or you could use a microwave.

Looks like that'll work.
I just hope I don't make too much curry!
(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:59, Reply)

Rice in pan.
Enough water to cover and a little over.
High heat till boiling.
Then low simmer.
Leave.
When all water gone then stop cooking and leave to steam for a while.

Job done.
