All of you guys shitting on OP for no reason. There’s more than one method to cook rice. In India and other Asian countries (primarily middle eastern), rice cookers aren’t typically used. Rice is cooked similar to pasta and exactly how OP described. With this method (for Basmati rice), you can guarantee that the rice won’t clump and each individual grain will be separate. In India, most households eat rice with Daal, and you don’t want clumpy or soggy rice in daal. This method is very old and used my millions of people.

Reply to LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
