Unique selling points: Wholegrain rice contains more vitamins and higher levels of fibre compared to white BasmatiRice can also be finished off in a buttered baking dish in the oven – 15 minutes at 180C, swaddled in buttered paper and foil, should do it. Not only does this give a slightly dryer result, but unless you've got the oven on for something else, it's an almost criminal waste of energy, and greaseproof paper. The microwave Rosemary Brissenden, author of the masterful South-East Asian Food, suggests an easier way to measure your water, using only a finger; apparently no matter how much rice you use, or how large your saucepan, the water should always come up to the first finger joint, if your fingertip is just touching the rice. I try this, but end up with soggy rice, which leads me to wonder whether my digit may be at fault. To be honest, measuring out water in a jug isn't too much of a faff anyway, although it's a tip to bear in mind should you ever venture into camp cookery. Madhur

It doesn't boil over this time – although only because I've cheated it of the water to do so – but it doesn't seem quite as fluffy as the steamed or simmered stuff.
