How much more water does white basmati rice need compared white jasmin rice?

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

i plan to make some indian rice tomorrow and want to know. i don't like my rice to wet and "puffed"....

1 part rice, two parts water for any white rice. Brown rice need 3 parts water.

BTW, I use a rice cooker, every time.

Well, that explains it. I have never used a rice cooker. I only cook brown rice and I always use 2 parts water to 1 part rice by volume. It's been working well for me for over 50 years, whether it's long or short grain or even brown basmati.

i see this recipe that is suggesting boiling the rice for 8-10 minutes and then allow to rest.. will that be enough time to boil?
she also mentions as a remark, that some basmati rice needs only 1.75 cups of water for each cup of rice....

i'm wondering if i need to use ground spices instead of the whole clove and cardamom..

I use 3 water to 2 rice by volume for both Basmati and Jasmine.
Thats on the stove top.

But it all depends on how you cook it, how strong the boil and how long.
I bring to the boil with the lid on, stir once, and then either turn of the gas (in summer) or simmer for a couple minutes more (in winter).
Then leave to stand with the lid on. No stirring or anything till just before use.
Sometimes I cover the pot with a towel, to keep it hot.

Jasmine is more fragile than basmati.
Another option for basmati is to boil rice in plenty water, then drain and steam till done (colander over a pot with boiling water works well. Also for reheating left over rice)

THAT is why I use a rice cooker!

Put in one part rice and two parts water (three parts water for brown rice), set it and forget it, and you get perfect rice every time.
