Difference Between Basmati and Plain White Rice

Description:

Basmati rice is a variety of long-grained rice that originates in the foothills of the Himalayas and is traditionally served in Indian and other South Asian cuisines. Frequently served alongside various curries, braised or roasted meats, or as the main ingredient in classic biryani, basmati rice is sometimes served plain but often flavored with turmeric or saffron, both of which impart a characteristic yellow hue. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

The Rice Finger TrickIts distinctive nutty
flavor and unique, slightly floral aroma is
similar to that of jasmine rice, which is
commonly used in Thai and other Southeast Asian
cooking. When cooked, basmati has a slightly
softer grain than jasmine rice, while jasmine has
a nuttier flavor.

Brown Basmati vs. WhiteLike all rice, basmati
rice is available in brown and white, with the
white version produced by removing the bran
(which is the outer husk or covering of each
grain) from the brown version, as well as the
germ, which is the seed that causes the rice
plant to grow, leaving the white starchy
portion. Structurally, basmati rice has the
longest grains of any rice, and it is known for
lengthening during cooking. It is also extremely
narrow, with pointy rather than rounded or stubby
ends.
