One is flabbergasted by your inability to extrapolate on the given scenario.

You put too much water sxb. Stick with Baasto. Bariis is for the elites

use the same cup of rice for the same cup of water, for example 2 cups = 2 cups of water, they tell you to put 3 , but don't , washing the rice itself adds water in it , so use 2 for 2 with the same cup with little oil.

You wash the rice??? So that's where I have been going wrong

NO!!!! No, No, No, No, No, No, No and more No. Bad advice.

The correct ratio is 2 cups rice : 1 cup water. 1 cup equates roughly 4 people, and Baasto as you are (I'm assuming?) living alonbe, 1/2 a cup will do.
1) Bariiska sii radi (rinse it with warm water 3-4 times or until water goes clear)
2) Put a little oil or butter (small teaspoon full) with huruud, milix & little bit of xawaash powder in a dhari
3) add 1/2 cup of rice
4) put 1/4 cup water (trust me!) with a splash extra water if you're worried
5) throw in heyl iyo qurfa,
6) dabka dhex-dhexaad gee,
7) dabool saar dheriga,
8) wait for 5-6mins.

has anyone used the finger/water ratio? I tried this and it worked perfectly..

[X.Playa]

that's b.s , it depends too what kind of rice you are cooking, basmati, jasmine, long grain etc. My rule is if it says 2 cups of rice with 3 cups of water ( 1 and 1/2 for each cup) I just make 2 for 2 and then wash the rice add a bit of oil and salt and my rice comes out ok.

YummyMummy 1 cup of rice for 4 people??? are you feeding Wasiir Xirsi Gaab group?? I can eat 1 cup of rice on one sittings.

[YummyMummy]

X.Playa, how big are you? We're a family of 8 people and I cook 2 cups of rice to be finished the same day. So that rule does work. 1/2 cup = 2 large qaado spoon fulls of rice. That's more than enough for 1 person, and easily shared in a group if you put 1 & 1/2 cups for all the boys in 1 large plate.

When you figure out the water thing, something else that makes it mushy is stirring.

You're only allowed to stir rice once - when you first put it in. After that you leave it alone and when the water goes under you "lift" the rice to mix. Haddi aad walaaqdid it becomes soor.
