Is that a serious question? I don't know anyone who owns a rice cooker, everyone I've ever met just cooks it in a pan, rocket science it ain't.

There's a world of difference between actual Indian cuisine and the stuff they serve in Indian restaurants elsewhere in the world. If anything, most of the stuff you get in British Indian restaurants is British cuisine more than anything.

"Asian food" is a helluva general phrase though. Asia's a big old place and you'll find if you look into it that the cuisine in Goa is totally different from the food from Kashmir or Punjab or anywhere else in India and Pakistan.

If you're serious about it, buy a decent cookbook. Amazon is chock full of cookery books and a decent one will include technique hints as well as recipes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
