Basmati
India's gift to the world
Basmati rice is a type of rice grown in the Himalayas and Pakistan. It is a long grain
rice that is characterized by a light nutty flavor.
What is Basmati
Rice? Basmati rice is a rice popular not only for its flavor, but for its fragrance.
It is remarkably long for a rice, and becomes longer still when cooked. It can be either
brown or white with the brown variety having more flavor. When cooked, the rice is lighter
and more fluffy than standard white rice, and does not stick together.In the Hindi
language, basmati means "Queen of Fragrance." The grain has been cultivated at
the base of India's Himalayan range in India for thousands of years, in the areas where
the Yamuna and Sutluj rivers flow.
Basmati is primarily grown in the Karnal (known as the "rice bowl of India"),
Kaithal, Kurukshetra, Panipat and Ambala regions of Haryana. Punjab and Jammu are also
major producers.
Rice is considered the most important food crop in India, taking up 44 million hectares --
regarded as the largest rice-growing area in the world.
Rice provides the main income for more than 50 million households in the country and is a
staple for 65% of India's one billion population. (Source: UN Food and Agriculture
Organization).
According to ayurveda, basmati is saatvic or pure and therefore, beneficial for the body
and easy to digest.
Cooking Basmati
Rice
- Use about 1/3 cup (60g) of rice per person
- Wash the rice to in a large bowl filled with cold water. Swirl the rice with your hand,
and the water will become cloudy with starch. Slowly pour the water away, holding back the
grains with your free hand or with a strainer. Repeat this three or four times until the
water is reasonably clear.
- Before you cook your rice, try letting it soak for 15 to 30 minutes. This process allows
the grain to relax and be more digestible.
- Sauteing the rice in ghee or oil before you cook or steam the rice is another way to
keep the grains from becoming soggy. Saute until the grains become translucent.
- When cooking rice the water ratio is about 1 ¾ parts water for one part of rice. If you
have soaked the rice beforehand, use a little less water.
- In most recipes, trapped steam helps cook the rice, so keep the pan covered tightly.
When you steam rice, use the lowest heat, without lifting the lid or stirring.__
Rice Preparation Mehods
1. There are two ways to do this: one is the pasta way - you boil a lot of water, a pinch
of salt and a few drops of oil, add the rice and when tender pour out the excess water.
Put the strained rice in a pot sprinkle some oil on the rice. Add some water and steam the
rice on low until the rice is fully cooked.
2. The second way of cooking rice is the absorbed method, in which you put exactly the
amount of water required to give the rice a perfect consistency. It is difficult to be
accurate because the exact amount of water depends on the variety of rice used, its age
and so on. Basmati rice requires about 1 ¾ parts water for one part of rice and jasmine
rice requires about 2 parts water for one part of rice.
Always use a heavy pot with a tight lid remember for each cup of rice there is
about 2 more cups of water, so choose your pot accordingly.
Boiled Rice for 3
1 cup (7oz/200g) rice
1 1/3 cups water, if using soaked basmati, 1 ¾ cups of water for unsoaked rice
salt
a few drops of oil/ghee
- It is best to start the process to cook the rice about 1 hour before the start of a
meal. Wash the rice twice, throw away the water, Soak the rice for about 15-20 minutes.
The rice will expand 25 per cent in this time.
- Put the water on to boil in a large pot, add salt (about ¼ teaspoon per cup of rice)
and a few drops of oil, and when boiling add the rice. Cover and cook until for 7-8
minutes.
- Do not remove the cover and let the rice finish cooking in its own steam.
You can season the rice with cumin seeds fried in 2 teaspoons butter, ghee or oil in a
ladle for a few seconds. Sprinkle over the rice when in its serving dish.
Fragrant Rice
When boiling rice, add ½-in (1cm) cinnamon stick and ¼ tej patta (bayleaf) together with
1 cardamom and 1 clove, if liked. Remove the spices before serving.
Yellow Rice
This rice can be served whenever you choose as the taste and flavor do not alter, only the
color. Just add a pinch of turmeric when boiling the rice.
Saffron Rice
Soak a few strands of saffron in 3 tablespoons of water for 30 minutes. When the rice is
done, pour the soaking water and the saffron over the cooking rice with a teaspoon and
return the lid to the pot so that aroma does not escape.
Vegetable Rice
For 1 cup pulao rice, slice 1 small onion finely. Then heat 2 tablespoons oil in the pot
in which you will cook the rice, and fry the onions until deep brown. Add the rice, a
small pce of tej patta, ½-in (1 cm) cinnamon stick and 1 clove and saute for 2 minutes.
Then cook rice as explained above under Boiled Rice
