I`m? re-posting this recipe/method as Ive made some changes to it & to make it more clear.
Please try ..& enjoy?

.
? ? Use only BASMATI RICE.
? ?
? ? I do this part after rice is done.
? ? The Spices.( enough for 4 dishes).
? ? 4 Cardamom Pods, 4 Star Anise,2 level Teaspoon cumin seeds,
? ? 4 pieces Cassia Bark,4 Bay leaves,8 Cloves.
? ? I separate into 4 small portions? in a suitable container with a lid & add to each, 1 half Teaspoon oil & half tsp of water & Mictowave for just under 30?
? ? seconds.You add to your cooked rice dishes mix in then sprinkle over the top a little desiccated coconut.? ? ?
?
? ?The Rice.
? 1. Get 2 pans & put half of the Rice in each pan(the amount of rice to make approximately 4 Take-away sized portions) .
? ? ?NOTE : Put one Teaspoon Turmeric in only one of the pans with the Rice & follow method below for both portions.
? ?2. Boil a kettle,pour boiling water over rice, stir immediately,bring to boil on cooker turn down straight away.
? ?3. Keep heat to steady low simmer.
? ?4. Keep STIRRING & tasting (you are actually testing the rice to see how cooked it is).
? ?5. A soon as its still slightly crispy in the center(this part you need to learn from experience but what you are trying to do is get to?
? ?the point were by the time you have taken from the heat rinsed in cold water it will be cooked right through with the residual?
? ?heat in the rice)
? ?6. sort into portions & add the cooked Spices,mix them in & sprinkle the Coconut over the top, let cool then freeze( keeps for?
? ?weeks).
? ?The biggets thing i have learned (& i cook rice 4/5 a week) is you never boil rice as by the time you think its cooked it carries on cooking until you cool it down ,so you always miss that point.also i find Basmati rice cooks so well .i use it for my Chinese & experimental dishes.
? ? ? ? ?Please let me know how yours turned out.
