Basmati is a type of rice that’s known for its aromatic grains. When cooked, the rice is lighter and fluffier than standard long grain rice and does not stick together, giving a smooth taste in every bite. Basmati rice’s distinct aroma and fluffiness are the perfect pairing for your favorite gourmet or South Asian dishes – use it to compliment a curry, pilaf, a spicy biryani, or even a delectable dessert! (Basmati cake, anyone?).
