It was historically reserved for special occasions and temple offerings and is now grown again on a small scale by CIC and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Suwandel like jasmine or basmati?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is closer to jasmine: a soft, slightly sticky, aromatic white grain, but shorter and with a milkier scent. It is not a long-grain rice and will not cook up dry and separate like basmati. It shines in kiribath and plain steamed rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do I need for kiribath?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo cups of rice with thick coconut milk makes a tray of kiribath for six to eight, so a 2 lb bag covers about three batches. Soak the rice first for an even, creamy result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShips from our warehouse in Bohemia, NY.
