How to Cook Basmati Rice
General information.
Rice is perhaps the most significant and important cereal crops in the world. Its origin and history are unknown, but it is known that for a long time, rice was the main food for more than half of the inhabitants of the globe. Indian basmati rice is very aromatic rice. Its aroma and taste differs from other kinds of aroma rice known in the world. Some people resemble its flavor with the aroma of popcorn. Basmati rice grows in the northern Punjab region between India and Pakistan. This kind of rice is the most expensive in the world. Basmati rice has a high content of amylase and firm, almost dry, texture. Its raw grain is long and thin like southern long-grain rice but a little bit smaller. While cooking its grains increase more than twice. The best Indian basmati rice has aging no less than a year, which increases the hardness and texture of the grain that becomes longer during cooking. There are many kinds of basmati rice grown in the U.S.A, but they have nothing to do with taste, flavor, texture, or appearance of real Indian basmati rice.
