Sushi rice is a short grain rice. But my FAVE white rice is Mahutma rice, and Indian rice. My bff's mom introduced it to me, which they are Colombian. They use an Asian rice cooker to cook Mahutma. They add in a bit of oil, salt, a stalk or two of green onion or whatever you happen to have on hand. It is THE tastiest white rice ever! I've tried this with other chinese rice such as Calrose but the end result is not even close! My other bff who is also Chinese, tasted this for the first time (years ago) and said OMG this rice is so tasty! I thought I was just gonna be regular white rice! (just like regular old chinese white rice, flavorless and tasteless and sometimes kind of mushy.
However when I was a kid, I used to like rice pilaf from Sizzler with lemon.  |
What variety of Mahatma rice do you like? You are talking about the
BRAND, right?? I don't know of a Mahatma variety. I like the basmati and the short grain aborio.
