[quote=Anonymous]Posting here 7 years after the OP because I hate basmati so much!! Totally overrated, dry, and (to me) zero fragrance. I'm South Asian but grew up all over (4 rice-eating Asian countries before age 16). My parents' country grows hundreds of rice varieties and at least 6 of them I can think of are so much better for both daily and festival use. I don't understand how basmati took over when most people can't even cook it properly. IDK about spiders, but to me it just tastes like cardboard coated in fat and saffron (bc it's usually cooked into a polau or biryani when I'm forced to eat it). Fluffiness vs stickiness is all in how you cook it, folks. And "fluffy" does not mean so dry it actually tastes uncooked half the time. BLECH. :thumbdown: there's more to South Asian rice than basmati, people. King of rice :hunf: what a swiz![/quote]
