I cook rice dishes on the trail with my alcohol stove with minimal time and fuel. The secret is to use basmati rice from the Indian grocery store. I will use 2 parts water to 1 part dry rice. Bring to boil. Turn off the stove and put the pot in an insulated pot cozy. After about twenty minutes it will be cooked. I will include red lentils, olive Oil, salt, curry, and maybe some meat for a tasty and healthy meal. Practice at home to get there proportions and timing to you liking.
