my perfect rice is rick martinez's arroz verde (green rice)

in a blender/food processor: 1 large scallion, 1 peeled garlic clove, 1 green capsicum (recipe calls for poblano but I cant get them in my country) and 1/4 cup packed coriander leaves and soft stems. Blend until liquified with 2.5 cups of water and salt to taste.

in large pot: heat 1 tbsp nuetral oil over med heat, and add 2 cups of rice (I don't both to wash, a think the little bit of starch helps). Toast the rice until translucent but not brown at all.

add the contents of the blender to the pot, bring to a boil and then reduce to low and simmer with a lid for 25 minutes. Let sit for a further 10 minutes to steam and then fluff the rice.

I make it once a week, truly gamechanging.
