    Ingredients

    Rice.

    Basmati is a fragrant Indian rice with an intoxicating natural aroma. Its nutty, buttery flavor pairs well with savory dishes like curries and other Middle Eastern and Asian fare.

    White Basmati Rice is lighter and fluffier than traditional white rice and has a more concentrated flavor than the jasmine variety. Its white, unsticky long grains cook up separate and fluffy, making it a delicious substitute in dishes such as stir-fry, salads, pilafs and desserts.

    Classic recipe

    Mujadara

    Deeply satisfying and redolent of caramelized onions and aromatic spices, mujadara is considered a staple throughout the Middle East. Consisting of steamed Basmati Rice and Green Lentils cooked pilaf-style with golden-brown fried onions, mujadara is a pleasantly spicy-yet-sweet dish.
