Pakistani 386 Lal white rice, also known as Lal Basmati in some regions, strikes a delightful balance between affordability and quality. While not technically basmati rice (known for its distinct aroma), 386 Lal boasts long and slender grains, averaging around 6.9 mm in length. These grains elongate further upon cooking, resulting in fluffy, separate kernels. This versatile rice, with a grain length ideal for numerous dishes, is a budget-friendly alternative to basmati. Its neutral flavor allows it to pair well with a wide range of cuisines, making it a popular choice for everyday meals.
