Hot take: Any rice works, but basmati is the traditional choice. Don't sweat it if you only have jasmine or long-grain rice on hand.
Definitely basmati rice! It鈥檚 light, fluffy, and has that unique aroma that pairs perfectly with Indian spices.
From experience, I can tell you that basmati rice is a must for Indian dishes! I once tried using regular long-grain rice, and it just didn't have the same fragrant and fluffy outcome.
