Super Basmati Rice Sella 1121 - India - Swan Rice - 900gr

Authentic basmati has been grown in India and Pakistan for hundreds of years, with the highest quality being produced in the Himalayan highlands.

It is a very long grain rice, and it elongates even more while cooking. During cooking the grains stay together and separate little, but they are not sticky after cooking.

It can be found in two forms, white basmati and brown basmati, darker. Both are cooked in time intervals that do not exceed 20 minutes.

Given the ability of rice grains to stick together due to the high amount of starch, it is advisable to wash it before cooking. If it is also soaked for half an hour to two hours before cooking, the grains will be less likely to break during cooking.

I love this long grain rice, with that characteristic smell and flavor. It is famous for its delicate fragrances and its exquisite flavor, in India its name means " queen of fragrances“.

Thebasmati riceIt is one of the best long rice in the world, especially if we want to use it as an accompaniment to curry recipes or with an oriental touch. In this recipe we have relied on rice basmatiwhat a good result it always gives us.

As I have commented in other recipes, for each dish you must use a type of rice, do not do a paellaneithera risottowith basmati.
