About one year ago Dr B. felt like making curry. He seldom cooks, so I welcomed the idea with enthusiasm and sent him off to the market.

He came back with two kilos of brown Basmati rice, made two curries in a week with some of it, then left me to go through the rest when he realised that the rice he bought took over forty minutes to cook instead of the twelve minutes claimed on the label.

I remembered a technique I had once read in a Chinese cookbook to put rice on, set a timer and come back to beautifully cooked, fluffy rice that needs no draining.
