Its name means &quot;the fragrant one&quot; in Hindi, but it can also mean the &quot;soft rice.&quot; India is the largest cultivator and exporter of this [[rice]], followed by Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh . It is the [[rice]] that is normally served in Indian restaurants when plain boiled or [[pilau rice]] is ordered.<br /> <br /> Basmati rice can be used in any recipe that calls for [[long grain rice]].<br /> <br /> Before cooking any type of [[rice]], rinse in a sieve under cold running water, stirring with your hands until the water runs clear. This will remove most of the [[starch]] and prevent the grains from sticking together.<br /> <br /> If you find the rice is sticky you either have not rinsed it well enough or you are cooking it for far too long.<br /> <br /> ==Storing rice==<br /> If most of your rice dishes are savoury and you store your rice in a jar, try adding a few [[cinnamon sticks]] or other [[:Category:Spices|spices]] to the jar. It makes the resulting cooked rice even more fragrant. <br /> ==See also==<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Boiled rice|How to cook basmati rice]]&#039;&#039;&#039;{{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Nuts grains and seeds]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/rice|#rice]] [[Special:Search/basmatirice|#basmatirice]] [[Special:Search/cinnamonsticks|#cinnamonsticks]] [[Special:Search/nutsgrainsandseeds|#nutsgrainsandseeds]] [[Special:Search/longgrainrice|#longgrainrice]] [[Special:Search/boiledrice|#boiledrice]] [[Special:Search/pilaurice|#pilaurice]] [[Special:Search/starch|#starch]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
