Do you love using rice in your recipes? Mahatma Rice has two new rice products – Mahatma Basmati rice and Mahatma Jasmine rice. I’m a member of Bzz Agent and they sent me a bag of each type of rice to try along with some free coupons to pass along to others. Three lucky winners will each win a coupon for a free bag of Mahatma Basmati rice and a free bag of Mahatma Jasmine rice (up to $4.25 value for each bag).
Both types of rice are known as “fragrant” or “aromatic” rice because of the aroma that is emitted while cooking. Each 2 lb rice package is available in a convenient E-Z open and E-Z pour spout.
If you read my Menu Planning Monday posts, then you know that we use a lot of rice in our meals, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to try these two products. I decided to do a search using the Mahatma recipe finder and the two recipes I’m going to try first are the Lime and Cilantro Beef Salad (using the Jasmine Rice) and the Pineapple Fried Rice (which can be made with either rice).
Here are the details on the giveaway if you’d like to try this rice for yourself!
The giveaway starts today and will end at 11:59 pm CT on Wednesday, March 31st. I will announce the three winners on Thursday, April 1st. The winners will be chosen randomly using random.org.

I'd make the Suppli al Telefono. I love suppli!!! I remember eating these in Italy, but not knowing they have fillings in the middle. Imagine my horror one time biting into one filled with beef and peas! (It was yummy, just surprising!!)
I would love to try the Coconut Shrimp and Rice Salad. I think my husband might die if I made that one night!
