    I used to like Jasmine Rice until I tried Basmati Rice. I still like Jasmine Rice, but, now I exclusively only eat Basmati. My method for cooking Basmati Rice is. Thoroughly rinse 4 cups of Basmati Rice. Add 4 cups of rice, 4.5-5 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt to microwave safe bowl and cook in microwave on 100% power for 10 minutes. Nice!

      I am Indian and this is how we cook Basmati: Pot full of boiling water, pour in the soaked rice and it's water (Do NOT throw away the water you soaked the rice in. It is the flavored water you need), some oil, salt, roughly chopped mint leaves, coriander leaves and let it boil away. Stir occasionally. Check once in a while. Once 90% done drain the water and let the rice rest on a large plate ater removing the mint and coriander leaves (You can put the leaves in a muslin cloth and put it in the boiling water too to avoid taking out the leaves). This dries the rice a bit more and you get delicious dry basmati rice for your dishes.

    Basmati is the winner in my opinion. Works well with many dishes.

    I see people on here arguing for which one is best but honestly I love them BOTH.It depends on what I am cooking.I just dont care fot regular non aromatic rice after eating the aromatic ones.I DO think rice is amazing. This humble grain feeds so many millions and millions of people in so many different countries and has for centuries.Something to think about

    Jasmine rice is more for dishes that go well with Thai food like green and red curry. Jasmine rice clumps so it's best paired with curries. On the other hand Basmati is dry as such best for our pulao and biryani and excellent fried rice. Us Indians prefer our own Basmati cause it suits our cuisine. We have another variety called seeraga samba which is also fragrant rice but less expensive and shorter grain size. How to choose between the two if you have the budget: If you are making a less seasoned pulao and want to taste the rice more choose Basmati. If you are making a heavily seasoned rice dish, be it with meat or without meat, choose seeraga samba. Basmati is twice as expensive as seeraga samba per kilogram so yeah watch out for the budget.

    There are some other rice in some deep parts of India when you'll try them you'll forget both basmati and jasmine, especially there's one very tiny rice it's different and once you try that man you'll sure would wanna keep it

    Apparently I dont like sticky rice anymore, which is what jasmine rice is. Basmati dont stick together as much, so they are my go to rice these days. Jasmin is fine if you are making fried rice. Adding sauce however, basmati will be way better.

    no matter what kind of rice You guys should eat it all when it's on the plate.
    That's respect for the peasants. This is an attitude that has been cultivated since ancient times.
    In Thailand, we crepe farmers a lot because they are the food producers for the country. In the past, we had songs with the lyrics that
    "Strong farmers is the spine of the nation
    Thailand will rise to power because we are an agricultural nation."

    You make it sounds so complicated. For stay at home cooks with jobs no one has time for a history lesson. You take the rice chuck it in the cooker using your finger measure just ask any Asian. As for the difference between the rice no one really cares as long as that is the rice your were going to cook...
