The big mistake most people make when they attempt rissotto or Paella is they use the wrong rice - you can use basmati but the correct rice for the best meal is actually Arborio Rice -its an Italian short-grain rice that absorbs a huge amount of liquid unlike basmati which is basically cup of water to cup of rice.
Most supermarkets stock it or it you really want the good stuff (which is 100% better taste) try Sabato's in Normanby Rd in Mt Eden, there range is huge but not cheap.
If you use Aborio you can not go wrong.
