Question

How many cups of raw basmati rice yields 500g of cooked rice?

Answer 1

500g is about 2 cups

Rice roughly doubles in size when its cooked



So put 1 cup of rice in with 1.5 cups of water, and it should make 2 cups.



But rice is very versatile, so it never hurts to have more than you need! It freezes well too!
