Thoughts on Basmati...

Do you eat rice a lot? And sometimes it starts to feel mundane. And you wonder why one rice should fit every ethnicity of cooking?
In our house we have 4 types of rice.

Long Grain White
Brown
Arborio
Basmati

White we use for all things mexican, brown for healthy days, arborio for risotto and lovely basmati for indian food.

Basmati is the most delicious rice! I know, you didn't know RICE could be delicious, but it actually can have flavor unto itself. If you've ever eaten at an indian restaurant you've had it. It is as easy to make as white rice, in fact I cook it exactly the same (a little less water). But it can be made in a rice cooker and just has the most fabulous aroma. It is also daintier and prettier looking somehow....

Try it out.
