Basmati Rice

Indian Basmati: no ordinary rice or Gundry’s being nice, I don’t know which. Lectins can be boiled out, Gundry is insistent starch becomes resistant, chilled overnight. I have to say it was not very fluffy though: a bit like risotto; turned out alright. ————— An Abhanga, an Indian form, 6x-6a-6a-4x

Great write. I love rice but would prefer the long-grained type.

I went to Sam's Club to find some, ended up coming home with a 20 lb bag - I hope we like it a lot!
