please advse me how to cook basmati rice

[Saltire]

Mine never ever turns out looking good. It is always like mushy!

As cogito says plus when you come to serve it up just run a metal fork through it to fluff. Never use a spoon with rice to fluff, only to serve.
But really, only one stir as rice goes in water to stopp it sticking then leave it.

Buy a rice cooker. About a tenner from agros. We use ours weekly and saves a fortune on posh rice from the take away.

Second the rice cooker, mine doubles as a slow cooker...
