I found it!  Brown basmati rice, with all of the aroma and nutty flavour of white basmati rice. In the traditional grocery store… it didn’t require a search party.   But don’t be mislead, in the rice aisle you will find Texan, Native and Californian brown basmati rice.  This is not acceptable for a desi family.  In the “ethnic” aisle you will find India’s Own Brown Basmati, grab it and bring it home.  I did and promptly cooked a cup with some green peas.  It was delicious.  I did omit the butter yet added a teaspoon of olive oil, fearing that the rice would turn out too dry, but infact it was not. What is proving difficult is finding all of the nutritional information I need for my comparison, search party now required.  I will add the info later once I have it.
