4.0 out of 5 stars Gourmet baby basmati rice!, September 6, 2006

This review is from: Lotus Foods Brown Kalijira Rice, 15-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
Lotus Food specializes in heirloom rice from all over the world. This particular rice comes from Bangladesh. Kalijira, or gobindovog, is tiny--like a cumin seed when raw. In Bangladesh it is used only on holidays and special occasions, and is known as the Prince of Rice.

Kalijira is very easy to cook. One cup raw makes 3 cups cooked. Following the package instructions it took exactly 25 minutes for 1 3/4 cups of water with one cup of rice to cook. Letting it sit for 5-10 minutes is a must to preserve the texture. The grains nearly double in size and are firm, not sticky. The fragrance is aromatic. The flavor is excellent, mild, barely nutty and with a faint hint of sweetness. It performed well served with a spicy stir fry. Kaljira is a versatile rice which would do well either in a dessert, such as a rice pudding or in a pilaf.

Though this is an exotic rice, it is a solid contender for an all-around any meal rice to go with many different kinds of dishes. Enjoyable.

This review is from: Lotus Foods Brown Kalijira Rice, 15-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
This is my favorite rice ever - I eat it just about every day You will NOT find a better price anywhere (including directly from Lotus Foods) I ordered a case of this and the white Basmati rice at the same time - I love giving a bag as a gift to a friend - they have come back and asked for more! Buy it now before I'm ready to order another 2 cases! You'll love it too!
