As general background, basmati is a variety of long, slender-grained aromatic rice which originates from the Indian subcontinent. Commonly, cooks rinse basmati until the water runs clear and soak it for twenty to thirty minutes, which helps the grains lengthen and stay separate. Kitchens use it for biryani, pilaf, mandi and plain steamed rice beside curries and grills.
