Texture
The texture of any rice dish is generally affected by the cooking time and cooking temperature. If rice is not cooked for long enough it will be hard and gritty with an unpleasant bland flavour. An image showing grains of pre-fluffed rice
Problems with Overcooking
If however it is over-cooked then it becomes starchy and stodgy, producing a bound texture that is unpleasant to eat.

These have usually been tried and tested to produce a good quality dish with optimum texture.
It can follow that food styles affect this tradition at times but classical cookery has been with us for a long time and will remain so - I hope.
