Popular in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, basmati cooks up fluffy and aromatic. It’s the kind of rice you’d find in biryani or pilaf, and it’s served as part of a thali with masala or curry. A variety of basmati rice grown in the United States is the brand Texmati. There are many ways to cook basmati, but most Southeast Asians cook it with a little bit of salt and a little bit of fat.
