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 sun-baked wood and flowers. It is characterized by a light nutty flavor and floral aroma, and it’s popular in rice pilaf/pulav 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.
