I never make more than 1 cup of rice at a time and always have lots
leftover.
I use the pasta-boil method: 10 minutes full boil; drain and rinse
with boiling
water. If it's a furrin rice I rinse and sometimes let soak.

I've bought 1 and 5 pound bags of Royal and Tilda basmati rice, but
found a
small bag of Tilda basmati mixed with wild rice at Fresh Market. Not
an
economical purchase, but the stuff was just short of miraculous. Takes
a
little longer on boil because of the wild rice, 20 minutes, but every
grain had
integrity, was dry and nutty, almost standing and marching onto the
plates.
Would have made great fried rice without chilling.
