Basmati Rice.

No. Just follow the cooking time on the package. I love basmati rice!

Yes; Basmati rice is originated in India. It is cooked in our family; but I don't know how to cook. I have perhaps told you I'm a big zero in cooking.

I love basmati rice - had some last night with our Persian (Iranian) food. I make rice in the rice cooker . . . the Japanese or Jasmine is just water. But when we have Persian, we also put in olive oil (I think restaurants might use some butter) and salt. You can just make it with water . . . it all depends on what kind of your food you're having with it.

Pretty makes Basmati rice for herself and doesn't do anything extra with it.

No, I just wash and cook them but you have to keep checking as they get cooked very fast.

That was so generous of that person since basmati rice is super expensive here in the US. Is it expensive worldwide? I'm not sure. Anyway, I suggest you follow the cooking instructions on the back of the package or you can check online. There should be tutorials on YouTube how to cook basmati rice. Good luck!

I don't really know anything about basmati rice. Happy eating.

Yes. It is indeed from India I have a kilo in my pantry and I use it to make pullao For plain cooking it is like any other rice.

I would just rinse it in water first and then cook as per instructions. I am more for convenience these days and prefer microwave rice, which takes only a minute or so. So much easier.

It's good quality of rice. You can cook it like other normal brand of rice.

There is also Basmati rice in Thailand. When I was in New Zealand, I tasted that rice brand, It is very yummy rice. There is none here in our country, Hoping the government will import Basmati rice someday, We have here Young Chow and Princess Bea from Indonesia which are also very tasty, sticky rice.

That's the only sort of rice we buy. We just boil it for about 10 minutes.

I usually just use regular old, plain white rice. But maybe on the next "rice trip" I might change it up a bit. I DO like Jasmine.

i had used basmati for a long time. too bad it's not good for making risotto, which i'm planning to do. i only add vegetable species a bit but you can add some salt, if you want. i also like jasmine rice.

I had basmati before, but mom would cook it. It's very long and definitely less sticky than other types of rice. Not suitable for baking cakes I guess, but it's very good on its own with some "dressing". It's also a bit more expensive than other rices, at least over here, so it's a very nice gift.
