I was never a rice fan at all.
If I go to a restaurant, i'll order a few tandoori dishes to be shared amongst the table guests, but for mains, i will order my chosen curry, and a naan bread. I may pinch a tablespoon of rice from someone in exchange for some bread.......
However, i must say, since we opened our shop, i have become addicted to our basmati rice. I don't know if it's available in UK. it's an aged basmati Indian rice called "Aeroplane LA Taste". It is so fragrant, with ultra long grains. I can (and often do) eat a bowl of this stuff on it's own.
Seriously, if can source this in UK, give it a go, I guarantee you will not be disapointed.
