Honestly, any kind of rice works, but Basmati just has that extra oomph!
Rice is rice. Use what you got, but Basmati is the classic choice.
Definitely Basmati! It鈥檚 fragrant, light, and just the right amount of fancy for your tikka masala.
I always use Jasmine rice, and it works great too. Just a little stickier, but super tasty!
