Basmati rice is highly regarded for its aroma and taste. It is typically used in pilafs seasoned with spices and sautéed onion. These additions heighten the already aromatic character of the rice, and the pilaf technique—sautéing the grains in oil before steaming them—produces rice with a fine, delicate texture.
