Interesting you (almost) all say 1.1.
I was told an easier way - (after washing it) is to put the rice in the pan
and fill with water to a little fingernails worth above the rice. (1/2")
Bring to boil - stir once - put the lid on and simmer until all the water is
gone.


i've heard of the 'finger' measurement before - but it was water to
the height of the first joint of the index finger. can't say i've
used it though, because my measuring cup is the jealous type.

However for any tomato based rice dish; I don't wash it as it needs to be
dry to fry, so I fry the rice until slightly golden then add the tomatoes,
an equal amount of water and the whatever you're going to put in it.
