Basmati is a variety of long grain
rice grown in India and Pakistan, notable for its
fragrance and delicate, nuanced
flavour. Its name means "the fragrant one" in
Sanskrit, but it can also mean "the soft rice."
India and
Pakistan are the largest cultivators and exporters of this rice; it is primarily grown through
paddy field farming in the
Punjab region.
The grains of basmati rice are longer than most other types of rice. Cooked grains of Basmati rice are characteristically free flowing rather than sticky, as with most long-grain rice. Cooked basmati rice can be uniquely identified by its fragrance. Basmati rice is available in two varieties - white and brown.
