The main characteristics of Indian Basmati Rice are as follows : - Origin : Authentic Basmati rice is sourced from northern India at the foothills of the Himalayas. Whilst Basmati rice can be sourced from India and Pakistan, Indian Basmati is traditionally considered premium.
- Colour : The colour of a basmati is translucent, creamy white. Brown Basmati Rice is also available but the most commonly used is white Basmati.
- Grain : Long Grain. The grain is long (6.61 - 7.5 mm) or very long (more than 7.50 mm and 2 mm breadth).
- Shape : Shape or length-to-width ratio is another criteria to identify basmati rice. This needs to be over 3.0 in order to qualify as basmati.
- Texture : Dry, firm, separate grains. Upon cooking, the texture is firm and tender without splitting, and it is non-sticky. (This quality is derived from the amylose content in the rice. If this value is 20-22%, the cooked rice does not stick. The glutinous, sticky variety preferred by the chopsticks users has 0-19% amylose).
- Elongation : The rice elongates almost twice upon cooking but does not fatten much. When cooked the grains elongate (70-120 % over the pre-cooked grain) more than other varieties.
- Flavour : Distinctive fragrance. The most important characteristic of them all is the aroma. Incidentally, the aroma in Basmati arises from a cocktail of 100 compounds hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes and esters. A particular molecule of note is 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline.
- Uses : Flavour and texture complements curries because it is a drier rice and the grains stay separate. Also suits biryani and pilaf (where saffron is added to provide extra colour and flavour). Great for Indian & Middle Eastern dishes.
- Main benefits : Aromatic fragrance and dry texture.
