How to cook white rice?

[ChloeF]

I'm cooking chilli con carne for dinner, i can handle that bit, just wondered if any one had an easy fool proof way to cook the rice? The last time i tried it went sticky and mushy Thankyou

I don't eat chili with rice, I eat it with tortillas.
However, if you cover the dish with plastic wrap, set the dish on a plate to catch overflow and then microwave for 15-20 minutes it comes out perfect every time.

Clean the rice with water properly, soak the same in water minimum 30 minutes, thereafter put the rice in cooking pot filled with water. This is important to note that the level of water should always be around 2 Cm's above the level of rice (any quantity rice and size of pot). Keep it heating on moderate flame till the water starts boiling. Once the water starts boiling, cover the pot and put the flame very low and cook it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes uncover the pot and check the rice. If you find the rice cooked around 90% put the flame off and keep the rice pot covered for another 10 minutes, thereafter the rice would be ready to eat. In case you find the rice a little uncooked, just add 2-3 table spoon warm water and heat on little flame for 5 minutes more. In case you find sticky, remove the total rice in a covered Microwave pot/ dish and heat for only 2 minutes, the excess water will go away and rice would be dry.
