Basmati Rice

BASMATI RICE: Bas in Hindi language means "aroma" & 'Mati' mean "full of" hence the word Basmati i.e. full of aroma. This rice is different from other rice mainly due to the aroma & elongation post cooking. No other rice has this combined characteristic. It is remarkably long for rice, & becomes longer still when cooked. It can be either brown or white with the brown variety having more flavors. When cooked, the rice is lighter & more fluffy than standard white rice, & does not stick together. The aroma & it�s sweet taste have made basmati rice a delicacy. Basmati rice is grown only in Northern India & in parts of Pakistan touching India.
