The one I use (Jyoti Basmati Supreme) is labeled “very long grain” and expands significantly in length once cooked. It’s also important to rinse the rice under running water for a minute or two before cooking. This releases excess starch and prevents the grains from sticking together once cooked; basmati rice should be tender and fluffy, and the grains should be separate from one another.n.
