The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a "doom loop" for the world's poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

It's just whatever you're used to. Thai jasmine rice is amazing, and I wouldn't eat Thai food with anything else. If you're used to eating Indian food with basmati, jasmine won't be a good substitute.

    I'm used to Minute rice since that's what my parents used growing up. Not sure what kind of rice that is, but the first time I made something that called for Basmati rice, I didn't like the rice. It was sweet when I expected earthy. The rest of the recipe was good, and I just use jasmine rice with it instead every time thereafter, since that's what I buy now over the boxed crap.
