I must admit, my preference is for white rice, brown rice and then wild rice, I don't enjoy as much. I'm sure it's an education thing but I love the starchy flavour or white rice.

Phil, pasta I prefer to be fresh, but really love dried macaroni. Who would think size and shape would change the taste and experience so much?!

I like wild rice too, but its name is a little bit misleading (actually no rice) (:

Also a tip for dal i just heard was to add turmeric and oil to the water before boiling to prevent it boiling over.
Dont think i've read that here before but then i dont eat enough dal these days, so it probably has been posted somewhere on this forum in the past.   ;)

I dont know yet Goncalo, i haven't tried.

 Oil in with the boiling rice (as with the dal tip) is supposed to help with boiling over too.  ;)
Cant say its clicked in my head when i have added oil to the water to realise that it stopped the rice going over.(if it ever did) Usually i just add salt.

Hi all

Bit late in replying to this thread, but only just joined ???

I love rice nearly in a its forms, well, perhaps not as a desert.  Struggled for years to get just that "restaurant" taste and quality, until in desperation, my wife let me buy a good rice cooker, not cheap, but it did the job right from the first cooking.  It will also make cakes :-\

I think though that the real secret in good rice is to clean it thoroughly, get all of the starch out, and then cook.

Agreed!
I follow Curry2Go e-Book Pilau pressure cooker recipe.
Only about 10 to 15 minutes for 10 or so portions.
Great every time but you must be careful not to over cook.
