Last week my husband complained because there was no Basmati rice to go with the Tandoori chicken, just regular white rice.
He complained about a lack of Basmati. I didn't know he even knew what that was.
I have turned my husband into a foodie! My evil plan is a success!

Basmati also has some spiritual or physical aspects, according to the ancient practice of "Ayurveda." If you haven't heard, ayurveda is a method of healthy living which includes concepts of mental, physical, social and spiritual harmony. There's much more to ayurveda than what I can tell you in a simple column but think of mixing Chinese medicine with the philosophies of yoga.
According to ayurveda, basmati is saatvic or pure and therefore, beneficial for the body and easy to digest. It is considered an excellent remedy for balancing your vata (metabolism) and pitta (energy production). By the way, ayurveda practice means avoiding instant or pre-cooked rice because it has less prana (life force) in it.
Instant rice. Eeewww.
Basically my husband could sense that his vata and pitta were out of balance.
