At SBcanning, I have been looking for good basmati rice recipes so I can get my complex carbohydrate, protein and great flavor and enjoy eating this rice. So I have found what I call an Exotic Basmati Rice recipe. This rice goes extremely well with our aloo gobi or cauliflower and potato recipe here.

- Exotic Basmati Rice recipe is recommended as a side dish, but I often feel like making a meal out of rice and add fresh or frozen fresh vegetables on top and will pre-fry some cod or halibut and serve with lemons and parsley as garnish.
