Instead of Parboiled rice
Long-grain riceUse the same weight; it cooks softer and faster, so use about 10–15% less water and check earlier.
Basmati riceUse the same weight; it is less stout and cooks faster, so reduce water and simmer gently.
RiceUse the same weight; any plain rice will work but will not have the firm bite of parboiled rice.
