Plain on the side with butter and salt, fried rice, stir fry, coconut rice etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633709 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 12:09:23 +0000 meredithNYC 2633709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make it to accompany Indian food, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633706 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 12:01:26 +0000 avivoca 2633706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it with sausage, sautéed peppers and onions, and lentils. I find it gives everything a nice flavor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633693 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 11:50:31 +0000 Anagram 2633693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also with curry over here. I always rinse the rice first, to get rid of some of the starch. Then if time permits, let it soak for 20-30 min (the rice gets longer, which is preferable in Basmati). Then I usually just serve with a chicken curry (store bought sauce, like Butter chicken or Tikka Masala, or Vindaloo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633690 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 11:45:01 +0000 Mrsbells 2633690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: you can cook it like regular rice with just salt and water in a rice cooker or in a pan. Then eat it with a stir fry, or any stew or curry you have in mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633643 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 10:38:37 +0000 wheres_c 2633643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it for indian cooking. Usually to go as an accompaniment to curry. You could buy prepacked curry or make your own.<br /> Also you could use it to make biryani if curry aint your jam.<br /> <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/vegetable-biryani-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/vegetable-biryani-recipe.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633641 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 10:37:11 +0000 tinyperson 2633641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut rice with some sort of curry on top is good, but we usually just cook it like normal and eat it that way (usually with a curry or a soup) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633639 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 10:36:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 2633639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly use basmati rice when I cook Indian dishes. My favorite Indian dishes are shahi paneer, vindaloo, daal malika.</p> <p>LO also loves basmati rice; she would eat rice every day if I let her. Sometimes I'll add some pine nuts and herbs to it, mostly leave it plain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-i-do-with-basmati-rice#post-2633625 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 10:17:22 +0000 SweetCaroline 2633625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a bag of basmati rice some time ago and have done nothing with it. To be honest, I don't even know where to start. </p> <p>Do you have any general guidance for using this particular type of rice? Bonus points if you have a favorite recipe to share :happy: </p>
