How I always make rice:

Suppose n is the number of people to cook for.

Take n dl of rice, rince and let soak for at least 30 min.
Drain for at least 15 minutes.
Bring to a boil in n/2 cups of water (yes imperial cups) and stir once.
Lower heat to the minimum allowed by your stow and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Turn off heat, and let rest for 10 minutes before fluffing it slightly with a wooden ladle.

This works well for basmati style rice AND japanese style (sushi rice).
