Basmati rice is perfect as a side dish for Indian curry, dal, and tandoori, and it is indispensable in an authentic biryani, where the long grains remain separate and fluffy. Its mild, nutty aroma elevates any meal and also pairs well with Persian and Middle Eastern food. Rinse the rice thoroughly and consider soaking it to make the grains extra long and light.

Cook basmati rice with plenty of water or using the absorption method, and let it rest for a few minutes with the lid on before fluffing the grains with a fork. Store the rice in a dry, airtight container to preserve its characteristic fragrance.
