Proportions for the rice we used (basmati) are, if I remember
correctly, 1 cup rice to 1.75 cups water. It does depend on the kind
of rice, however; I remember some rice coming out soggy when we were
doing a feast away from our home group and one of the local people
bought a kind of rice we weren't familiar with.
