The word ‘Basmati’ means ‘the prince of fragrance’ and you only need to cook a batch of it to find out why. It is a long, slender grain that creates a light, fluffy rice when cooked which is nutty in flavour and rich in aroma.
Organic White Basmati Rice is a species of rice unique to India and this one has been grown in the Himalayan foothills.
Take this rice to the next level by soaking it 3/4 times until the water runs clear. Now fry the rice for a couple of minutes in a little hot oil until the ends turn translucent. Season and add 1.5x cold water to rice and leave a lid on. If you've got your ratio of water to rice correct, you won't even need to drain it!
