As above, I know how to do it but mine always seems to come out claggy, all stuck together. Tried allsorts but can never get that fluffy rice that I want. Suggestions please. TIA

No, just normally sort of boil it in a pan with a bit of olive oil. to try and stop it sticking together. I do that with spagetti and that always seems come out ok.

It's important to wash your rice in a sieve under the tap before cooking. Also don't stir it when its boiling as that makes it sticky.

I do rince it to get rid of the starch. Must admit I do tend to stir it.

Easy way:
Wash rice.
Put rice in saucepan.
Cover with water to about 2cm above the rice.
Bring to boil then turn down to low for 10-12 mins. (Water will absorb and rice will steam slightly)

Thats what I do but I must be **** at cooking if it works for you.
