Rice – How to ensure rice from rice cooker becomes dry

dryingricerice-cooker

I'm adding 1.5 cups of water for 1 cup of basmati rice to my rice cooker. I don't think the amount is the problem.

It's not very watery but it can feel a little watery(which probably isnt an issue for most) but I would like it very dry.

Sometimes I eat straight after its heated, could that be the issue? After it's cooked do I need to leave it open so all the water evaporates? What can I do to ensure I get very dry rice?

Thanks

What I normally do is fluff up the rice- sometimes its just the top layer which is a little more moist due to condensation, but if it's watery I sometimes leave the rice cooker open for a bit and let it evaporate which works for me (although I don't know if that is how you're supposed to do it)
