Basmati
Appears in
By Gary Rhodes
Published 1996
This must be the king of all rice. It is grown in India at the foot of the Himalayas. Basmati is more expensive than patna and has a fine, longer grain with an almost perfumed flavour. If ever you are simply cooking some boiled or braised rice, try some basmati; it really is as good as its reputation tells us.
Rice, as I have said, has become and, in fact, always has been one of the most eaten foods. Rice cooked very simply, braised, boiled, etc. and without butter is a very healthy food to eat with very few calories.
