Texmati rice. An aromatic rice that's a cross between American long-grain rice and basmati. It has more flavor and fragrance than its American parent and less than basmati. Texmati comes in both white and brown versions, with the brown having a nuttier nuance than the white. See also rice.
The next time you need some rice to accompany a stir-fry or curry, consider giving basmati or jasmine rice a try. These aromatic rices become subtly fragrant and flavorful when cooked, making them a great alternative to plain long-grain white rice. Jasmine rice, from Thailand, has long, translucent grains. When cooked, it has a seductive, slightly floral aroma and a soft, clingy texture. Basmati comes from the Himalayan foothills of India and Pakistan. It has a very long grain that lengthens further when cooked.
