Jasmine rice is stickier, and cooks in less time than Basmati rice. You would need to soak Jasmine
rice even longer than Basmati. That could account for some of the problems with the crust.  Also,
Jasmine and Basmati rice have two distinctly different flavors, so substituting Jasmine for
Basmati is not going to give you an authentic reproduction of the recipe to begin with.

All in all, it seems that the recipe you were trying to follow was unweildy to begin with, and
certainly more trouble than it is worth.
