Basmati rice is the go-to for many Indian dishes, thanks to its fragrant aroma and fluffy texture. Perfect for biryani!
You can find Basmati rice in a lot of Indian dishes, especially in biryanis and pilafs. Short grain rice finds its place in some South Indian dishes.
Hot take: Basmati rice or bust! Nothing else really gives you that authentic Indian flavor.
