"Indian Basmati, which predominantly grows on the foothills of the Himalayas, is also referred to as "White Gold". It is believed that the melting snows of the Himalayas, the rich soil and the right climate in the Northern parts of the country are ideally suited to produce this distinctive quality of rice. While once associated with kings and royalty, it is today accessible to connoisseurs around the country.
Indeed, throughout history, it has been on royal menus of various cultures as the main dish. From the pilav of Turkey, polou of Persia, pilafs of the Steppes, the isotos and paellas of the Mediterranean, to the pulaos and biryanis of India, it has been served to great sultans, maharajas, shahs and emperors. Spices, nuts, dried fruits, vegetables and herbs are natural embellishments for Basmati rice.
This compendium of recipes is a tribute to this unique and special rice variety that has pride of place in India and is recognized the world over."
