We mostly eat caribbean short grain because that's what the missus prefers but I grew up with jasmine and sticky rices.

I do mixed grains from time to time and the best way to cook them is to use the Central Asian method: boil unwashed grains until almost, but not quite done then drain, rinse of excess starch and shake of excess moisture. Repeat for each additional grain you want to use then mix them, put them in a pot with a lid, set to high heat and place your hand on top. When the lid gets too hot to keep your hand there comfortably, off the heat and set the table. By the time everything else is ready to serve, the grains will be done, finished in the residual heat of their own steam. Just remove the lid then fluff and serve.
