Hello All!
I sometimes buy carry-out kebabs from a Halal Persian place and it occurs to me that the rice served with it has grains much longer than the usual long-grain rice. Can anyone tell me the name of this *very* long-grain rice? A web search has not been too enlightening so far. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

The recipes I've seen for Persian rice preparations call for basmati, which is typically longer than long-grain. Maybe your Persian place happened to get a crop that was especially long. Usually you soak basmati prior to cooking, which will also expand it somewhat. -aem |

I think you are right and there is a difference between the original Bismati rice and the Texmati that I have been using. Texmati tastes quite good but it does not seem to expand as much as the original. I suppose that's logical enough since Texmati is a hybrid. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
