I'd suggest a visit to your local Indian grocer who will usually have a cast iron flat Plate pan ( cant remember what its called) For chapatis and other flat breads ( very cheap and lasts for years)
All general use, good quality pans should be all you need. Especially a deep saute pan with a lid, that can go in the oven. >I grew up in India and I'm big on rice. I'd definitely recommend a rice cooker for plain rice or for rice with not much added to it. I wouldn't use one for rice dishes that are heavy on other ingredients (e.g. biryani). My rice cooker gets a lot of use.<
Never would have thought to cook Basmati rice in a rice cooker. I'll give it a try
