Basmati rice originates from India and is therefore most often used in Indian cuisine. The rice is fine-grained and does not stick like jasmine rice.
Basmati rice is one of the most renowned and beloved rice varieties in the world. Basmati rice is an indispensable ingredient in Indian cuisine, where it is traditionally used to prepare both simple dishes such as biryani, pulao and khichdi, as well as for more festive meals.
In the Indian subcontinent, basmati rice is regarded not only as an everyday food but also as part of the culinary heritage that connects generations. In many cultures across Asia, basmati rice is used as an ideal base for spiced meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, where its fine texture and fragrant flavor make it perfect for absorbing the spices and flavors from juicy curries, gravies and marinades.
Preparation and use:
Tilda basmati rice is easy to prepare and is the perfect choice for both everyday dishes and festive meals. To achieve the best texture and flavor, it is recommended to rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch. Then cook the rice in a pot with double the amount of water, or use a rice cooker for a perfect result every time.
This fragrant rice is ideal to accompany spiced dishes such as biryani, korma, and dal, but it also pairs perfectly as a side with grilled meat, fish or fried vegetables. To enhance its natural aroma you can add a small pinch of saffron or a cinnamon stick, as many traditions do during cooking.
Storage:
Store basmati rice in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to preserve freshness. For optimal shelf life and quality, basmati rice can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer, which will preserve its aroma and flavor for longer.
