Seeraga Samba Rice vs Sona Masoori Rice vs Basmati Rice

Today I'll be writing about the difference between Seeraga Samba rice, Sona masoori rice and Basmati rice. 

As you can see in the picture below, Seeraga Samba is the shortest of the three. Sona Masoori is medium sized and Basmati is the longest rice. Sona Masoori doesn't have a strong scent but the other two are very aromatic. Basmati is mainly grown in the northern parts of India. Whereas, the other two are grown in the southern Indian states. All three rices are exported worldwide. 

Seeraga Samba is mainly used for making biriyani and fried rice. Sona Masoori is used for making the rice that you have with paruppu, sambar, rasam, etc. Basmati rice is used for dum biriyani and jeera rice. The usage of the rice varieties varies according to people's taste. Do experiment and taste the difference! :)
