Depends on what you are having it with. You can flavour it with some pesto which is nice on its own. If you are having it with curry then fry some onions mushrooms and aubergine that have been very finely diced in some curry powder then add it to the rice when it is cooked with some chopped corriander. You can also make fried rice by adding the rice to a frying pan with some garlic, soy sauce and an egg and then mix then together until the egg cooks.

Answer 4

Dice onions, peppers and garlic and saute' in olive oil. Add basmati rice and brown. Add water and a dash of curry powder and some saffron, dried marjoram and salt and pepper. Then you may add a can of chic peas drained and cook covered until done. Also add some frozen green peas at the end of cooking.

Answer 6

maybe I'm not the best to ask as i can burn rice in a rice cooker but..
you can flavour it by using flavoured stock to cook it in rather than plain water coconut rice is nice i think you add shavings of a coconut block or maybe half water half coconut milk biriani is nice its basically rice meat and vegetables in one meal slightly spicy serve with a curry sauce or veg curry you can fry the rice in spices quickly to coat then at the water /stock add some sultanas and apple or once cooked you can fry it up with an egg for egg fried maybe add some cooked shrimp peas finely diced meat for a special fried rice rice and peas is supposed to be nice i think it uses chick peas or something of that nature and coconut possibly salt fish
can be used cold to make salads flavoured with dressings best bet find a Chinese recipe book will give you some ideas or a book for cooking around the world many cultures use rice might find something you consider new to you repertoire

My favorite: Basmati boiled in coconut milk perfumed with a hint of rose water, served cold with mango sauce and coconut shaves.

If you want it for fried rice wash it before boiling with cold water to take the dust away and it's not so sticky!
