Let's hear it for basmati rice! I don't know what the difference is,
but basmati rice resembles the American variety the way fresh-from-the-
oven homemade bread resembles Wonder. For one thing, basmati rice is
highly aromatic -- a kitchen where it is cooking is truly a delight to
the nostrils. I wish I could describe the smell, but there are just no
words for that sort of thing. Try it and you'll see what I mean.
In these parts, the most easily available form of basmati rice is a
hybrid called "texmati". It is available in (expensive) little boxes
at supermarkets, but I get it in bulk at my food co-op in both white
and brown varieties.
