Middle Eastern Rice With Raisins, Basmati is a sort of rice developed in the Himalayas and Pakistan. It’s fantastically fragrant with a light nutty flavor. “Bas” in the Hindi language really signifies “smell” and “mati” signifies “loaded with,” thus the word Basmati — or “brimming with fragrance.” The grains are long, slim and cushy contrasted with standard white rice.
When I took my 1st bite, I nearly cried from a close to overload in flavor, fragrance, balance and a notable infusion of affection within the grains of rice, little barberries, and strands of candied orange peel. Adds saffron, carrots, and orange peel make gold, barberries make rubies, pistachios make emeralds, almonds make pearls — jeweled rice. Is traditionally served at wedding celebrations.
