Wash rice until water runs clear.  

Add 1 1/2 cups water for 1 cup rice usually for basmati rice.

For jasmine rice, 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice should be enough.

Pressure cook for 5 mins.  Let pressure release naturally.

Saucepan:

Add rice and water to the saucepan.  Bring the water to a boil, then cover tightly with a lid and reduce the heat to low.  Turn off after 20 mins, all the water should be absorbed.  Uncover and fluff with a fork.
