Can you wash basmati rice?
Yes, you can wash basmati rice. I use the aluminum container that fits into my rice cooker as a rinsing bowl. Pouring the rice in and then filling it up with water, I stir it with my hand a couple times, until the water becomes cloudy, pour out the water (the rice tends to sink to the bottom and doesnt pour out with the water). I usually do this two or three times, as I prefer my rice with less starch.

How can basmathi rice be used?
Basmati rice can be used like any long-grain white rice. However, one of the unique characteristics of basmati is its texture. You can get very long grains by soaking basmati in cold water for about 30 minutes before cooking it. It's not absolutely necessary, but if you are paying extra for genuine basmati, you might as well take advantage of it. Basmati is primarily noted for its wonderful, but subtle, flavor and aroma. For that reason, it is best to combine it with flavor which will complement it, without overpowering the flavor of the rice. The Indian/Pakistani pulao dishes are classic uses of basmati. They can be elaborate casseroles or simple rice with peas. Basmati is frequently cooked with a small amount of toasted cumin seeds and a few cardamom pods. A pinch of saffron is always good, if you have it. Several Persian dishes make good use of basmati. They are noted for the crunchy bottom (tadiq) that forms during long cooking. It's a bit tricky to find the right time and level of heat (everyone has slightly different equipment) but, once you can do it consistently without burning it, you've got a real treat. Tadiq (sometimes spelled "tah dig") is gradually making its way into kitchens around the world.
What type of rice is used for sweet and sour chicken?
Any long-grain rice will do well in chicken soup. Short-grain rice, like arborio rice, would not be suitable. Avoid instant or parboiled rice. For variety, some people like to use long-grain brown and wild rice mixtures (wild rice is actually a grass grain native to North America). Alternatively, basmati or "jasmine" rice can be used for additional flavor and aroma.
How do you cook basmati rice?
Basmati rice is a fantastic accompaniment for Indian food, but it can also be used as a side dish for any meal or in any entree that calls for rice. Basmati grains are longer than plain rice and lengthen further during the cooking process. It may be a little more complex than making that five-minute box rice, but the taste is much fresher. Instructions: 1 Basmati holds on to more starch than other rice. Because of this it should be rinsed several times and preferably soaked whether you have a couple of hours or, in the best of situations, overnight. The goal is to rinse the rice until the water is no longer cloudy. 2 Measure two-to-one with water (or stock if you prefer) and rice. For example, if you are cooking one cup of dry rice, use two cups of water. This will produce three cups of rice. 3 Cook until the water boils, turn down to a simmer and cover with a tight-fitting lid. 4 The rice will cook down until all of the water is gone. Do not stir during the cooking process. It will take 30 to 45 minutes, so when the half hour ends, check on the rice. Listen to the pot; the rice is done when you can know longer hear the sputter of water. 5 Let stand for several minutes. Fluff with a fork to finish.
Different types of rice?
In Italy we grow and use different kind of rice, according to the recipe. For best "risotto" choose CARNAROLI or VIALONE NANO. They both tend not to overcook, the first one has longer grains and is perfect for less creamy risotto (such as those with meat), the second one has more starch, so the final result is a softer and creamier dish, perfect for vegetable risotto. Vialone Nano is used also for SUPPLI' (rice and mozzarella balls) or rice ring (TIMBALLO, filled with different sauces, eaten as a first course). We also use ARBORIO, for different dishes, including cold rice salad, so popular in summertime all over the Country, ROMA, very similar to Carnaroli in usage, ORIGINARIO, perfect for soups or puddings, because it becomes very soft easily and melts with the dish. Unfortunately I have no information on the hundreds kind of rice available all over the world. Hope it helped
