Basmati rice
Basmati is a long-grain rice from India, considered to be one of the best-quality white rices. It has a distinctive aroma and, when cooked, each grain should remain separate, giving a light, fluffy result. Basmati should be rinsed thoroughly in a few changes of water before cooking, in order to remove the starch. It's the perfect accompaniment to Indian curries or used in biryani and pilaf dishes.
