Basmati Rice, is a variety of long grain rice grown in India and Pakistan. Apart from its unique characteristics of being long grained, slender and aromatic fragrance, the basmati rice is also nutritious and a better choice for the health conscious. Its name means "the fragrant one" in Sanskrit, but it can also mean "the soft rice," and the word coincidently means "my smile" in Arabic. India is the largest cultivator and exporter of this rice, followed by Pakistan; it is primarily grown through paddy field farming in the Punjab region.
Cooked grains of Basmati rice are characteristically free flowing rather than sticky, as with most long-grain rice. It is of course necessary for cooking the popular beryani rice and an excellent alternative for making nasi lemak.
