Basmati is an integral part of Indian cuisine. The word „basmati” literally means „fragrant” in Hindi.
It is an aromatic long grain white rice with a unique nutty aroma and a light, airy texture when cooked.
Basmati has a low to medium glycaemic index, which means that energy is released more slowly and evenly, leading to a more balanced energy level.
One and a half cups of water are needed to cook one cup of basmati rice.
