In Singapore, these Indian rice is used to cook Briani rice, either with mutton or chicken curry. Taste not bad, quite fluffy & loose, not sticky at all. Definitely cannot use chopstick like Chinese-Dragon said, unless you want to eat grain by grain, hahaha...

Wow, looks yummy buddy. I didn't know SG version is bastardised version lol. Must visit Pakistan one day to try the different kinds...
 
The type of rice that Indians eat is not the same type of rice that we eat.

Unless they are specifically growing our type of rice to export to us.

Indian rice is much harder to use with chopsticks because they do not stick together as much as our ones do. Don't you wonder why Indians use spoons/hands to eat rice, you can't pick up lumps of Indian rice with chopsticks, it will fall apart. Just try going to any Indian restaurant and using chopsticks.
Indian rice is harder to eat with chopsticks but maybe the export will be used to make rice flour?

Both India and China use rice flour extensively. Here are some of our rice flour dishes.

Enjoy! :)
 
Since when did chopsticks originate from Japan?

Even rice itself came from China. :lol:

Genetic evidence shows that rice originated from a single cultivation in China over 10,000 years ago.

Indian members are welcome to check any source they can find.

It's not the source that is important.
It is the lying again and again by RSSers in this forum...
Such behaviour is deplorable and pathetic.

Kindly share Ur source. As far as I know u may be True. But agricultural society can be found in all ancient civilization of India. And our sangam script of South which is many 1000s year old which talks about our origin of new civilization in southern parts of tamilnadu (As entire continent called Kumarikandam submerged into sea due to rise in water levels during end of ice age) talks about many crops and refining process too. Which takes our agriculture for crops way before any civilization including of China. We dominated entire Asia with our trade, culture, traditions etc way before proper civilization came to existence in China.

It also true :)

Am RSSer too. So? What's Ur knowledge about RSS ideology? Behavior? You are talking about largest non governmental religion organisation which is peaceful and patriotic towards our mother land and safeguarding our cultural values against western culture. We are OK with good changes in society but if it's against our motherland we will project our power. Will you call it wrong? Look at ISIS we bunch was formed recently and we know what they started to do kill all non Muslims and take over. We are 1.2 billion 800 million Hindus. 50-60% Youths. Just think what will be result if even small part of thoughts about RSS where true? You sits next to us.

The Origin
Rice originated at least 130 million years ago as wild grass. Cultivated rice, as we know it today, was first grown about 10,000 years ago in south-east Asia, probably in India.




The origin of rice is buried in obscurity and the depths of time. Till today, we do not know when it was first discovered and domesticated and perhaps this is one fact we will never come to know. In the long and turbulent history of the human race, one of the most important developments that led to the development of civilizations was the domestication of rice, for this one single variety of grain has fed and nourished more people over a longer period of time than any other crop.

Rice or Oryza Sativa (as botanists prefer to call it) is not a tropical plant but is still associated with a wet, humid climate. It is generally believed that the domestication of rice began somewhere in the Asian arc. From its place of birth, lost forever in the mists of time, the plant and its grain spread all over the world.

According to some schools of thought, It is probably a descendent of wild grass that was cultivated in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas and the upper tracts of the Irrawady and Mekong river basins. Another school of thought believes that the rice plant may have originated in southern India and then spread to the north of the country.

From India, the plant spread to China and then onwards to Korea, the Philippines (about 2000 B.C.), Japan and Indonesia (about 1000 B.C.). The Persians are known to have been importers of this grain. From there its popularity spread to Mesopotamia and Turkestan. It is believed that when Alexander the Great invaded India in 327 B.C., one of the priced possessions he carried back with him was rice.

Arab travelers took it to Egypt, Morocco and Spain and from there it traveled all across Europe. The Portugese and Hollanders took rice to their colonies in West Africa. From Africa it traveled to America through the 'Columbian Exchange' of natural resources - rice being a gift from the Old World to the New. Rice has been cultivated in the United States of America for the last three hundred years.

It was in China that the process of puddling soil and transplanting seedlings was likely refined. With the development of puddling and transplanting, rice became truly domesticated. In China, the history of rice in the river valleys and low-lying areas is older than its history as a dryland crop. In Southeast Asia, by contrast, rice was originally grown under dryland conditions in the uplands, and later it came to occupy the vast river deltas. Migrants from South China or perhaps South East Asia carried the traditions of wetland rice cultivation to the Philippines during the second millennium B.C., and Deutero-Malays may have carried the practice to Indonesia about 1500 B.C. From China or Korea, the crop was introduced to Japan around 100 B.C.

Another school of thought believes that the rice plant may have originated in southern India and then spread to the north of the country.

The journey of rice around the world has been slow, but once it took root it stayed and became a major agricultural and economic product for the people. In the Indian subcontinent more than a quarter of the cultivated land is given to rice. It is a very essential part of the daily meal in many parts of the country.

The rice grain is treated with honour in the subcontinent and in Asia: for here the failure of the rice crop in not only an economic setback but can also create a famine-like situation. Wastage of rice is viewed rather badly in these societies and superstitions about the grain abound.
 
These kinds of food will never be popular in Mainland China.
We in a 10 million-people city, only have one authentic indian restaurant which is nearly empty all the time, the most unwelcome restaurant in IKEA Mall which has several hundred restaurants of all kinds of food from around the world.

If you can read Chinese, check people's online reviews of that restaurant, the number one theme is "diarrhoea' and "petition for thorough health check of the foreign chefs".
Most probably by a Pakistani opening a restaurant named Indian :cheesy:

Did you even read your own source?

Even your own source says that China was the first to cultivate rice.

We dominated entire Asia with our trade, culture, traditions etc way before proper civilization came to existence in China.

Oh I didn't realize I was talking to someone who was ill.

You realize India didn't even exist back then right? It was the British who united the many separate Kingdoms of the subcontinent into an entity they called India, after a river in British India (currently in Pakistan).

Why do you think all of India's borders are named after white British people like Henry MacMahon? Do you think Henry MacMahon is an Indian name?
