In terms of which rice, I like white basmati rice (I don't care for the brown basmati rice), but I am also fine with regular white rice - no it is probably not as nutritionally as good for me as brown or wild rice, but I am not a fan of either. I do quite like the additional flavours of a pilaf, which I've had made with basmati and other long grain white rice.
I love wild rice, but that wouldn't make it authentically East Indian.. the Basmati rice is almost like white rice..

Is the Basmati rice have any more nutrients than the regular white rice?..

I love short grain white rice.. has a nice taste to it.. ya know, the stuff from Edo..

Nothing wrong with pilaf, brown or wild rice.. I'm so used to eating Brown bread, that I find it to be a treat to have these types of rices..
