This recipe for Salmon calls for Basmati rice. Does it go by another
name? I absolutly can't find it anywhere.

It is sold in most grocery stores around here, but you should be able to
find it in an east asian store if there are any near you. There is also
American grown Texmati, which is (I think) the same thing.

Indian food stores sell it by the kilo. It's the best-tasting rice I've
ever had. Look for Elephant Brand.

And if you want an even tastier version look for brown. It is a lot harder
to find but worth it if you do.

I tired of basmati after a few years of having rice every day and have
switched to short grain white (also known as sushi rice). I enjoy it
more in soups and pilafs.

I love brown rice, and brown basmati is terrific. For a change of pace I
do the red Bhutanese.

Been there, done brown, short grain, long grain and basmati. Used to
buy it in the 10 elbee bags. Can't get it that way any more. Brown
rice is a great source of high quality carbs but doesn't do well in
pilafs or rice puddings/khir. Short grain white is the most flexible.

Any grocer catering to a Middle Eastern or Asian trade should have
Basmati rice. Grocers in Iranian or Indian neighborhoods may have it
in 5-kilo (or bigger) sacks. They may not even call it Basmati, just
"rice". Jasmine rice is also a kind of Basmati.

Ordinary long-grain rice is a reasonable, if boring, substitute for
Basmati. Short-grain rices won't substitute.

If you can't find it at your usual grocer, try a health foods store. They
usually sell it in bulk, priced by the pound.

Tilde, Elephant Brand, Royal--even Costco sells it. And you can buy it
on the internet. $2.00 for the rice; $8.00 for shipping.

The difference is, Basmati has to be rinsed before cooking; Texmati
doesn't. Being lazy, I always use Texmati, which tastes fine to me.
