Basmati rice is a type of long-grain rice that is commonly grown in the Himalayas, India, and Pakistan. Literally translated as ‘the fragrant one’, Basmati has been described as having the aroma of sunbaked wood and flowers. It is characterized by a light nutty flavor and floral aroma, and it’s popular in rice pilaf/pulao and as a side dish for curry. Basmati rice comes in two varieties, white and brown. Both have a nutty taste and a distinct smell. White basmati, however, is more processed. The hull, bran, and germ are all removed.
