Match water to rice type for consistently cooked grains.
Each rice variety has its own water absorption, so the amount of rice is multiplied by that variety's ratio. The water ratio is the single biggest variable in fluffy rice, and it differs widely between white and brown types.

Water = rice x per-type ratio (white 1.5, basmati 1.75, brown 2.25, wild 3)
