What is Basmati rice
Basmati is an aromatic long-grain rice variety native to the plains of India and Pakistan, prized for its slender grains, its distinctive fragrance and its delicate flavour. Unlike Italian risotto varieties such as Carnaroli, Basmati releases very little starch: the grains remain dry and well separated, which makes it the reference rice for pilaf, Biryani and all preparations where a loose, fluffy texture is required.
The Ristoris brand
Ristoris, based in Broni in the province of Pavia (Lombardy), is an Italian company specialised in the production and distribution of food products for the HoReCa channel, with a catalogue of over 20 product ranges. Raw materials are rigorously selected and processing takes place in facilities certified to international ISO, BRC and IFS standards.
Professional uses
- Pilaf rice: toast the rice in fat with onion, add 1.5 parts of hot liquid per 1 part of rice, cook covered for 12-15 minutes without stirring.
- Biryani: parboil the Basmati, layer it with spiced meat, fish or vegetables and finish cooking covered on low heat.
- Bowls and ethnic dishes: a neutral, fragrant base for poke-style bowls, curries and wok dishes.
- Refined side dishes: steamed or pilaf Basmati to accompany fish and white meats.
- Dosing: 60-80 g per portion as a side dish, 80-100 g as a main course.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not cook Basmati like risotto by stirring and adding liquid gradually: it breaks the grains and makes them sticky. Rinse the rice before cooking to remove surface starch, respect the 1 to 1.5 rice-to-liquid ratio and let it rest covered for 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork.
Storage
