What does basmati rice taste like?

Chef's answer
What Does It Taste Like? What's It Good For? Basmati comes from the Hindi word for "fragrant," and fittingly so. Basmati rice is all about the flavor and aroma, which is intensely spicy, nutty, and floral (compared to other rice that is, not hot sauce or cashews or like, actual flowers).
