I personally think that basmati has a much better aroma and thus taste
(the two intermix of course) over plain rice. That is my opinion.

However, different rices are good for different things. For example, I
would always serve basmati with any Indian/curry dish I make, but
would ALWAYS use plain lg rice for, say,rice pudding.

BTW, you can pick up fairly cheap basmati in bulk, tomake it not too
expensive..
