Govindobhog Rice
In Calcutta Naomi Duguid and Jeffrey Alford were introduced to this princely rice, which has a delicate, somewhat sweet flavor. Govindobhog is a long-grain white rice on a miniature scale, like a baby basmati. If you come across it, buy plenty, then enjoy it as an everyday plain rice or as an alternative to basamatic in Chelo, a delicious Persian pilaf. Delicious, Quick Side Dishes
