Overview
Indian cuisine is known for its solid foundations of herbs and spices, including chili peppers, cinnamon, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, fennel, cumin, mustard seeds, and many more. They are well known for taking on a high level of spiciness for almost every dish that is now available in multiple places around the world. However, another popular ingredient in India made its appealing food familiar and welcomed to Asian countries, and that is their very own Basmati rice. Basmati, which also translates to “ full of fragrance” , made it to the superior level of grains in the country that is known to have the largest area for rice cultivation, making it the main crop of India – the first in rank of the largest producer of rice in the world recorded on June 2011 to July 2012. This year (2021), they hold second place in ranks following China. Long, slender grain, flavourful, and fragrantly enchanting Basmati rice are highlighted in many different Indian dishes like curry, pilaf, biryani, and jeera (cumin) name a few. One particular brand of India has long been known for its quality and excellence in producing Basmati rice. Laila Basmati Rice only brings the finest, seasoned fluffy rice that elevates any Indian dish paired with it; harvested for the past 7,000 years along the highland terraces of Punjab mountains. Unlike any other regular small grains, the Laila Basmati Rice holds an average measurement of 8.4mm in full length.
